When did they vanished?

This is for the beginner, who will be benefited very much if start
learning the spoken English.

well, you know, this week I watched a cool special on skynews, it was
the "the canoe man story" that was a special (very funny for an italian
watcher) about the missing englishman who disappeared for long time to
stole lots of money from the assurance companies...

According to every dictionary I have been able to find, the proper
British spelling of "metre" ends in -re, whereas the proper British
spelling of "perimeter" ends in -er.
Is there any reasonable explanation for this inconsistency?

So far I have seen only a review of this book.
<insert abuse here>
I shall however be sourcing a copy and reading it.
Some factors do cry out to be addressed though,

what's the meaning? masochist gamer?
thanks

Mi piace da impazzire!! Sto impazzendo!!!=
come si traduce in inglese? sto urgendo di saperlo!

please tell me what's the difference in usage of these two verbs:
"must" and "should". which way is more convenient?
- "he must do smth" / "it must to be done" / "i must do smth" or
- "he should do smth" / "it should be done" / "i should do smth" etc.

Which one is correct?
