Hi all,
Not sure what you mean by "strictly British". If you mean British
English words used in a book, as in lift for elevator, lory for truck,
underground for subway, bubble and squeak, bangers and mashed, etc.
Yes, those are all Britishisms. If you post them here, we can probably
make sense of them. I've read a fair share of British books, and I'm
sure others have too. There are some spelling differences too, e.g.
honour for honor, favour for favor, centre for center, etc. Just let
us know what's puzzling you.
Hmmm, don't ask me to explain why a "rubber" in British English is an
eraser. <grinning> There are some pretty funny stories about the differents.
Ann P.
