ayrt

So a bit of searching has told me that leftpondians do use "curb" for the UK "kerb" as well. THAT'S NOT RIGHT.

Sure it is :P

Think of it as "curbing" the sidewalk/yard/grass/whathaveyou away from the street :P

There's also the fact that it sounds like "curve", which is the shape made by the curb.

So in both of those senses, I'm wondering where you people came up with something like "kerb" in the first place, cause it looks weird as fuck.

Yeah, I honestly always thought the two words were related like that. A curb is an edge. To curb something is to bring an edge (end, tapering off) to it.
