Hi All:
A interesting site for those who hate those Britishisms creeping into American:
http://britishisms.wordpress.com/list-of-entries/
And Christine reports...
" she told me that Americans were numerically dominant
amongst English speakers and so their definitions of those words are the
correct ones. "
I would have loved to see her reaction if you had replied that Indians were the
most numerous speakers of English*...
Garry
* which may or may not be true, but worth stirring the pot with.
