If you mean East Ender as in someone from the East End of London, I would tell them they are wrong to say an house.
However, I would tell them to take solace in the fact that they are at least not a catgirl.

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.
Quoth the American. I'm from London and I can assure you, it is standard practice to drown catgirls at birth.

I also recently returned, lured by the promise of new end conent and free to play. I was tooling around champion today (as well as some of the other servers). I truly miss the old old days when all you had to do was stick out a thumb and a hitchhiking PUG would pick you up.
Like all hitchhiking experiences, sometimes it was good, sometime it was bad, but it was always interesting. That being said, the Brute is also looking for a SG who is willing to re-train a man-monster long gone from the game.
BUTTAH!!!

bint - girl (Silas, if you're in England that should amuse you)
bintayn - two girls
khamsa banaat - 5 girls
ashreen bint - 20 girls.
And in some cases you reverse the gender of adjectives vs their nouns. And 'beard' is feminine.
Yeah. I'm done.

English nouns don't have gender, many languages do. Oh, and the words for 'the' in German also change based on the gender of the noun. Once you learn the pronunciation rules for German, you can say pretty much any word correctly, even if you've never seen it before. This is not the case for English. With an intermediate grasp of English you may pronounce all kinds of words wrong, but you can speak technically correct English pretty easily. You can't do that with most continental European languages. So cast my vote for English as easy to learn, difficult to master. I'm definitely glad I didn't have to learn it as a foreign language  |
Yes, but you don't speak English, just that Queen's English slang...
