False.

In the USA smoking kills 450,000 people per year.聽 Car accidents kills less than 1/20 of that.聽 Accidents in VN kill聽 about the same number of people, I don't have the state on smoking deaths here but between the lower population and the stunning prevalence of smoking among men, I bet it's well into six figures too.

Why didn't you counter "NO sugar is for MY health"?聽 Tell her you're a diabetic and will die if you eat too much sugar.聽 She is KILLING you.聽 That should stop it....or maybe she wants to kill you slowwwwwww ly.聽

Spelled wrong.  If you mean the small one-handed bowl, it's ch茅n without the hat.

if I'm not mistaken, "spelt" is Commonwealth, like "colour."

incorrect.
spelt = past tense of spell
spelled as witches cast over snow white

Should notice that this is the way of Vietnamese cooking.

For the nothern people (from Ha Tinh Province up to the north), people usually put MSG into daily dishes while southern people (from Hue Province up to the south), people usually add sugar.

Not sure which region your gf comes from but likely southern people.聽 You should tell her that suger is not good for your health due to medical treatment.聽 Otherwise, ask her to buy this kind of sugar ("corn sugar" as the below pic) for you - easy to find - I guess.

Spelled correctly   I'm American, not British (where you probably learned your English from). 



In American English, spelt primarily refers to the hardy wheat grown mostly in Europe, and the verb spell makes spelled in the past tense and as a past participle. In all other main varieties of English, spelt and spelled both work as the past tense and past participle of spell, at least where spell means to form words letter by letter or (with out) to make clear. Outside the U.S., the two forms are interchangeable in these uses, and both are common.

Ancient,
聽 See what you did? You did not do the spellcheck and grammar check and the police came and closed the thread for further investigation!

Investigation, it's that missing spell check button. It will be closed until it turns up. LoL...

I am pretty sure if she wanted to kill me it would聽 be a crime of passion. But passion is the way to go...lol

I can't drink Vietnamese ice coffee without the condensed milk. It tastes yucky to me. My mom also puts sugar in the food when she cooks. She is from the south and most southerners put sugar in their cooking. I put sugar in my cooking, and some wine, and some beer.

How far south are you talking about? My family is down past Tra Vinh. They seem to use lots of msg, and sugar.
