-You can mispell center, color, check, etc, and nobody cares.

Actually, it's you guys that just misspelled everything when you put it in your silly dictionaries. Duh. =P

<3 it, Sunny. Go Canadians!

I LIVE IN THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE =D

The worst one is "maneuver." Maybe it's only the Brits that do this one, but whatever the alternative spelling is, it's absolutely ridiculous.

With alternate spellings I believe that as long as you can understand it, it's fine.

I'll agree with you there. Maneouver... manoeuver... maneuover... maneuover... manoeuver...

HOW DO YOU SPELL THAT DAMN WORD

Kate Beaton is awesome. End of topic.

Manoeuvre. And yeah, you guys are the ones misspelling everything, dude. o.0 Unless you were joking, but yeah.

... though I will forgive you purely for fixing the spelling of the ridiculous word written above.

Man, English Spelling sucks. Even American spelling.

Edited by me D<

OBJECTION!

THERE IS NOTHING LOWER THAN ABSOLUTE ZERO.

YOUR LIST IS SCIENTIFICALLY INACCURATE AND IT SHOULD BE SHOT.

Also wat. I thought Californians were cold resistant. I sure am o.O

Californians? No wai. >__>

It was 25C the last time I was down there in November, my cousin was bundled up in sweaters while my dad and I took a swim in their pool.

EDIT: Then again, this could just be those from LA, Iunno about back-country Californians.

You DO remember I'm Californian, right? >_>

I can take it all the way down to -10 before I shiver :3

LA area or up north?

Born in LA, lived in Downey. So yeah, around there. Orange County. I lived in the part of California that Vae hates.

How long did you live in CA Boyd? Ohio weather may have helped your immunity if you've been here long enough.

9 years there, 10 here. Ohio's weather never really bothered me until after my surgery though. Now 40F is enough to make my chest hurt ><

It usually takes it being something like 5 degrees for me to realize it's actually cold, and I don't ever shiver unless something is heightening my feeling. Surprisingly enough, my senses are all hyper-attuned, but I'm relatively immune to temperature. When I was five I ran out into the snow, with only one boot on, a pair of shorts, and I don't think I was wearing a shirt. Or so my parents tell me, anyway. I made a snowman beforer they realized and rushed me inside.

Also, nobody can tell when I have a fever 'cuz I always feel warmer than most people. almost 99 degrees is pretty standard for me (98.7ish is what the thermometer told me thursday when I last checked). If it's freezing, I give someone my arm(if I'm wearing a t-shirt, or I roll up the shirt) and they're all 'WHY ARE YOU SO WARM?!' So yeah.

I've never felt temperatures lower than 18°C ;3;

So I dunno how good my tolerance for cold is. It's probably not too horrible for an islander though; I'm pretty comfy at temperatures that my classmates would complain at. I imagine it's because my body is well insulated <<;;
