A quick note before I retire for the night on ………
Language.
I never realised before I started this whole blog thing, how different American English is from English English is. I have just been reading back through some posts and can see that some of my words and therefore meaning have changed through spell checking my posts. Spelling has never been my forte (can’t do the accent on the e here, or if I can don’t know how). I have downloaded the blogging word thing, and will try that in future as I like my blogs at least looking like they mean something to me. Thats not to say there’s anything wrong with American English of course.

Hey, I love “English” english! I’m getting better at it thanks for generous helpings of BBC America. My daughter said I was talking like Hyacinth Bucket for awhile there. God help me!

Oh wow! I don’t even know many english people who sound like her. The problem I have is spelling and the irritating habit microsoft word has of reverting back to American spelling when it is set to UK english. I’d get an apple mac if I didn’t know they were from the US too!
