Your humble apologies are accepted.
Alas! 
I make it a rule to never fall in love with anyone who is more intelligent than me (which of course, means I can pick and choose from millions).
I have always hoped for a non-English speaking Turk, partly so that I may take advantage of the wonderful Translation Forum on occasions, but mostly because I believe silence to be golden in affairs of the heart

Sorry for cutting in, but I couldn't help replying to this one thing:
Quoting Murat_k:
Since what good times the English spell "generalisation" with S and not Z? |
Since it's correct in British English 
Ok, go on having your charming exchange

I see you threw in a little grammar question!
Well I abhor the use of 'z' (so American, darling). However, it must be accepted that the 'z' has become more widely used in the English language in recent years, and the Oxford English Dictionary now accepts the use of both (much to my consternation  ).

Sorry, MagnadeaR
I shouldn't have to get into such details like grammar where I showed my ignorance to my own shame, again, as in previous comment with an English joke.
I have finished all my relations with Americans, so I promise no more Neo-conizm here.
Please, be my friend and I will promise I will protect you from ice-cream sellers

I like this!
OK then deal! As long as you are fully aware of my relationship requirements (as detailed in the above post)!

How very dare you suggest that "z" is becoming widely used in the UK - not in my book dalink

I agree Lady in Mod. Those bed people should get out of our language and take their nasty burger franchises with them!

Poor you Brits, America is taking YOU over this time! You think you can rule others all you want, well, enough is enough. I do feel so sorry for you.... you are such victims, you should spend the rest of your lives bashing America and whining about your unfortunate lives!!!!!  America-bashing is a good remedy for any problem, I agree... :-S
