There isn't any British English, it's just English. Every other country comes up with a bast@rdized form of it, but it's still just English.

It's like there's only one Meat Loaf and then you have tribute acts doing a bast@rdized form of Meat Loaf, but there's still only one true Meat Loaf.

Pud :twisted:

I have a problem with one and only English that is spoken only in England...I have even bigger problem with one and only English that is spoken only in Belfast...although I suspect that it's not so much one English but many slangs...

I salute you, professor Higgins!!!

Oh those builders...like I've said...if there is no room, I will try to get some people into hotel...nobody contacted me so far...so I dunno...although Animal and Bird assured me that they will have available rooms closer to December...I don't want you to be misplaced...although with this said...maybe I should send you to rest in that hotel room I am talking about...and suffer consequences...LOL...

I dunno...not technically, since American and UK English still differ quite a bit - sidewalk vs pavement. parking lot vs car park. trash vs rubbish. store vs shop. cookies vs biscuits. candy vs sweets. etc etc etc...

That would then be Americans bast@ardizing the English language. Since the English came up with the language first .

after my (uk english) friend's attempts to ask an American in Seattle if they sold phone cards I'm not suprised...they had no idea what she was saying to them until she mimed what she wanted. In fact same holiday, a different friend found the hotel staff couldn't understand what she meant by 'butter'* until eventually she said 'baadder'. We got butter.

and goodnight :-) xx

* Edit: butter (for you Americans ;)) is buh-ter for us Mancs

Seattle ain't America...they wouldn't understand me either...they are very earnest...but very square and completely devoid of sense of humor...

mszee 06 Aug 2008 00:28

Is it appropriate on a family forum to say that I am in love with you?

(I just looked at my title and decided that it's ok...AND...Claire is gone for 2 weeks...not that I don't miss her...but still...:oops:)

mszee 06 Aug 2008 01:10

Now I can't comment to Chris about checking things out...since I am no committed to the other side...LOL...
