@DaBhoyHughes Isn't Dublin a part of Britain?

@Lava91point0 Dave Allen is from Dublin.,Ireland, which makes him Irish!!!!

@AboSararFTW True, but towards the end of his run with the BBC, he did swear quite a bit and often got in some trouble for it. BUT, I do agree that overall he was not a comedian who felt he had to swear to make people laugh.

I can see that pistonslapbigtime takes a no-surrender view on language. I respect it and I like the argument he presented. Excellent. He has something in common with Percy Grainger, who tried to use English without foreign imports. In particular, when composing music he refused, eg, to write "allegro" & all those other Italian instructions to performers.

@Kinokiddo If the word is English in origin, i.e. strip or field, the "air" is correct, as in "air strip" or "air field". If the word is rooted in Latin, then it must be "aero" as in "aeroplane" or "aerodrome". There is no such thing as American English. There is only English performed correctly. Or not

What I love about Dave Allen that he doesn't swear, you never hear him says FUCK FUCKING SHIT. And the few times he actually swore, it came just right. just one "Fucking" in the whole thing, but that one "Fucking" is just at the fucking right place.
