Hey! We saved your asses during the big one, if not for us you'd all be speaking Germitalonese you ungrateful foreigners!

Who spells color 'color' and uses the metric system?!?
NOT US by God, oh no!

Classified is the name of a Canadian rapper (it's actually true)

There is a store near where I live that has a professionally made sign that says:
Expert Jewerly Repair
It's been there for two years at least.

I've told people I would be very reluctant to give them my business.

Why wouldn't you do business there. You might get a diamond ring for $199.00 instead of $919.00

Just don't call it jewry. That'll get you in trouble.
