I always assumed that “revolution” in the sense of the “American revolution” was based on the word “revolt” rather than the word “revolve.”

Well, there’s a commonly-held belief that the surender at Yorktown was accompanied by a British band’s playing of a march called The World Turned Upside Down. Of course, that would only represent a 180-degree movement, as opposed to a complete revolution, but there you go…

Neurotik: In spingears’s post, “TIC” stands for “tongue-in-cheek”.

Prince: “Father! The peasants are revolting!”

King: “Yes, right disgusting lot they are.”

Revolting? Some of 'em are downright cute if you don’t look too close at their teeth!

Only on the SDMB can you have 62 posts to answer a simple question with the correct answer of “No, they are separate countries.”
That’s why I love this place.

Yes, UK and USA ‘are’ is the same. As it’s mostly the same language we speak. The word ‘are’ is indeed the same in both countries.

Of course, if you are from the West Countries, you would say that word “arrrrrrh” lika a good pirate…

Maybe not. But you can get good curry here.

No. Not ruling India, Australia or any of the West Indies any more either.

Good heavens no. They talk funny over there.

Or New Zealand - what about New Zealand, won’t somebody please think of the other ex-colonies!
