-How long before Burglars become Burglarizers?
-And when they do, they will Burglarizerize houses.
-And then they will be called Burglarizerizerizers
ad infinitum.

plenty more examples of American butchery of English available on request...

Don't blame it on the americans. It's in fact the german infuence, because many settlers there were speaking german.

It's illegal to be gay in Texas.

That's why Texas men will always deny being gay, but really, if there aren't any gay Texans then why is it illegal?

Isn't it a constitutional right to be gay?
