ARE WE REALLY OUTNUMBERED

While trying to find the correct spelling for the word “usable” (able to be used) I read on an American website that “there are more people using American English than British English” – bollocks I thought, as the word INDIA repeated over and over in my mind…

So just how does the use of American English really compare to British English? Here are some rough figures:

People speaking variations of British English

Indian English (125 million)*
United Kingdom English (67 million)
Australian English (26 million)
New Zealand English (5 million)
Irish English (5 million)
Singapore English (2 million)**

Total – 230 million

*India is the most populous country at 1.4 billion people (yes, slightly ahead of China as of 2025) but it’s hard to estimate how many Indians have some degree of English literacy – 125 million is considered conservative.  **Same with Singapore (population 6 million) – estimate 2 million have some degree of English literacy

People speaking variations of American English

US English (335 million – just the US population alone)

If we also include Canadian English (38 million) that increases the lead even further. Damn I always hate admitting Americans are right, but they got me there!

Other large countries I haven’t taken into account here include Malaysia (British English) and the Philippines (American English)

 

And how is usable spelt? – either usable or useable are both correct! (the spell checkers are wrong!)

And now I’ll make up for my anguish by including a few American memes!

NZ'S FILTHY GREY SUMMER

The geoengineering in New Zealand since the start of 2025 has been beyond anything I've ever seen in my lifetime. Pretty much every day has been cold and wet with a filthy looking fake dark grey sky. That is just not how summer usually is in NZ and it's pretty clear that the globalists have cranked their relentless sabotage of our country's climate up to 11.

Here are 15 links with information on geoengineering that were recently shared with me - apparently "utility fog" is of particular interest but I haven't checked out any of these links yet:

CROSS EYED TOSSER

There is nothing quite like the buzz of doing an image search and randomly finding one of your own images!

Searching for an image of "A picture is worth a thousand words" I stumbled upon this gem. Some of my pictures are damn strange, maybe I really am a bit of a freak...

 "Cross eyed tosser lets rip on poodle woman" - Pencil drawing with digital editing

  • "A picture is worth a thousand words" is an English language adage meaning that complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a single still image, which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description.
How things started out:

Driven to coloured enragement by the antics of tards, it ended up like this:

RANDOMS 2025 #4











WHY I LIKE ODYSEE

This recent announcement was really good to see, and another reason why I'm a fan of the Odysee platform:
 

Dear friends of Odysee,

Starting today, we're removing all ads.

We don't need ads to make money as a platform and we are confident in the development of our own new monetisation programs that will help creators earn a living and at the same time keep Odysee alive.

Ultimately, sacrificing the overall user experience to make a few bucks isn't worth it to us and nor is it even sustainable for a platform that wishes to make something truly open and creatively free.

As we take this decision, one thing is certain to us, media platforms (even ones that market themselves as 'free-speech') typically devolve into advertising companies and end up becoming beholden to their paymasters. It's been that way for centuries and is never going to change.

As we see YouTube become more aggressive with their ad deployment and 'Free Speech' platforms try to build their own ad businesses it's apparent to us that we're building a model for Odysee that will keep it sustainable not only financially, but in its ability to provide an incorruptible user experience.

Our approach may be considered niche or unconventional, that's fine by us. Odysee will be used by the world on terms that are agreeable to its users, and we know our users don't like ads.

Best,
Founder & Creator, Chief Executive Officer.
Julian Chandra
