It's not that serious.

Inspired by a recent post about fork types. Stuff always seemed unnecessarily complicated.

  It's weird American spelling where they removed the u from ou in many words because they sent telegrams and those were paid by the letter.

  YOU ARE TALKING TO A LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Thought you where pulling the leg, looked it up, TIL! Thank you :)
Reminds me of a translation job my wife and I did. This was before google and any kind of translation engine. It was just a small text to be included in a CD case. But there was a thorough listing of the instruments played by the artist: about a dozen different kinds of trumpets. Even though our command of the English language is quite good, we were at a loss. We could not just write that "He plays a trumpet, a trumpet, a trumpet, and a trumpet", and no dictionary we had access to was in any way helpful.

So we got pictures and information on all those "Trumpets", got our hands on an English book on musical instruments, and painstakingly identified each single instrument. It took us days to translate a single column of text, but at least those trumpets had their proper names.
Three tines is not a fork. Three tines is a trident. Forks are for eating, tridents are for ruling the seven seas.
- ~~Trident~~ Threek
- Tridents are a type of fork. :P
I wanna fork on the table.

  "Pathetic"
De fork! De fork! Have you seen de fork?

That lives rent free in my head whenever I see a fork like this
- I feel like I know what you're referencing but I can't figure it out.
  
  It comes from Isles most shivering, the line, not the item specifically.
- "You bring the Fork! Happy day! The blind shall see! The lame shall walk! The short shall tall! Forks for all!"
  
  Big head ruled lmao.
My favourite is fork.
That left alignment
- I did this by hand on my phone in about 5 minutes I'm surprised it looks as good as it does.
  
  Good job 👍 I'm proud of you!
I can only see 3 forks here
They remember the grapefruit fork, but they forgot the vichyssoise fork?
- It's all in the wrist.
  
  Deep cut ;)
But which will I get when I ask for four candles?
fork and fork are good the rest are mental disorders
