I don't because American isn't a race =] My comment isn't deragotary either, I was stating that I think American English is a lot uglier than real English, you seem to hate the letter "U" removing it from almost every word where it belongs (Mum, favourite, colour etc.).

British English is the original and the best. American English is like English wiped down with a dirty sponge.
However, British English is different today than it was...

and you could say it's just a wiped down version of another language, such as Latin (Actually, I think it evolved from some Germanic and such...y'all get the point though)...

It's how language evolved and American English is the evolution of the old English language, mixed with various other cultures and the development of American society in different circumstances that lead to what it is today...

In a constant state of self-examination. In MN.
It should.

Anyway it seems that I'm the only one that doesn't like white DK =[
By your logic, isn't that shold? :p Seriously though, technically Old English (with the "Shalt"s and the "Thou"s) is the true English, isn't it? Wouldn't that make modern British English and American English both offshoots? Either way, I'd say both British English and American English have their strong points, and making blanket statements about whichever one you don't prefer strikes me as just plain ignorant. Especially when "Mum" comes from the root word 'Mother" which is spelled with an "O", and when the "U"s in "Favourite" and "Colour" are serve no purpose but to make the word longer. The point? They're different ways of speaking the language for different people. Let's just deal with it and move on, all right? :p

Getting back to DK-related topics, I agree with you on the White DK thing. Like I said earlier, he just reminds me of the albino gorillas from Congo, and then all I can think about was how cheesy that movie is.

Silverback, Yeti, Albino, doesn't matter what you call that one, it's definitely the color I'll play him as.

Whaat? How can you say DK Melee looks better than DK Brawl? Well I guess you just did, but I find that very unbelievable. I also dont like white DK either, I like the traditional brown.

Huh? Melee DK better than Brawl DK? I always liked the look of the Melee DK, but the original is so much better... I really love how he looks like in Brawl. Now he looks more than Donkey Kong.
I don't know, but the Melee DK had something that made him look so different....

Albino DK looks nice, though I probably won't play him much, I like the original colo(u)r the most.

I like the new Brawl look overall. It seems to do the DK Fur thing that Jungle Beat did, but with the DK Country style, thus, equaling goodness.

I sense racial slurs in this post. =]
American is a NATONALITY, but it's discriminatory nonetheless (yeah, xainfeng is just one of those xenophobic types)

Well the fur in Brawl kind of makes him look all friendly and playful

*jumps right into the grey/black debate, as silly as it is, since it was brought back up*

If you want to be THAT technical about it, there is no such thing as black other than the black in a black hole (or something equally as lacking in light). Likewise, there is no white other than what we see as pure light (I'm talking about staring directly into the sun, here). Everything else we label as "white" or "black" is usually just a very light or very dark value of grey.

So, since a TV emits light, it is impossible for any color appearing on it to be a true black. Thus, DK MUST be grey.

Actually, color doesn't even exist. Nor do the words I'm typing. In fact, we're all just figments of a small child's imagination. And that child lives in a snow globe that God is dreaming is on his nightstand. And by "God", I am of course referring to the word's Old English variation, in which it is a synonym for "fruit basket".

. . . Or is it Goud?

**** it. Yeti DK looks nifty.

And Congo's a really good, bad movie. That's the "Stop eating my sesame cake!" movie, yeah? That's quality.

Well it's not like I can't love any other characters than my username ^^'
I love Diddy too, and Sonic is my favourite video game character, but my nick is still Luigi player, strange isn't it?
It's just because Luigi is my favourite character in Melee, and it was really very difficult for me to come up with a name... anyway, Luigi is my most played character overall, but since some months I rarely play him and mostly play DK :)

Albino DK was weird for me to comprehend at first, since it was such a departure from DK's normal look, but it's been growing on me, definitely.

As far as DK's "new look," I was definitely impressed when i first saw it. It just screams badass. :p
