no, they just gobbledegook ... Americans only know about America, well some of them. So I'm not overly surprised that an install of Linux crucifies the install with American English (GB) ... propter Engerlish speekers don't exist.

Took me a wee while to persuade that particular version of Linux how English should be represented!


I binned it in favour of a better version anyway.

The other day I was wondering which color to spray my automobile and thought it might be a good idea to spray the hood and the trunk different colors. To do this I better park it off the pavement and sidewalk or they may end up with odd colors on them as well.

There we are, American English, seen any good movies lately? (I could go on but won't).

Talking off oddities, from the time I was a small boy in short grey trousers I've always thought the word 'wee' referred to what we as little boys done up a tree when the parkie wasn't looking.

Only later did I discover those north of Hadrians Wall use the word 'wee' to describe something on the tiny side.

Still makes me snigger

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be, but the way I remember the first year of English at primary school (3rd grade, 1973-74), we spend an unholy amount of time trying to learn to pronounce "Her Majesty the Queen, Elizabeth the Second". This may or may not have caused lasting structural damage to my brain. I also remember that pronouncing "can't" the American way was a sure way to get thrown out of the class. Which came in handy at times.

Strange old bird, our teacher was. Methinks she must have had a fetish for all things Victorian.

You were taught a second language at primary school

And the third and the fourth in middle school and the fifth in high school.

Good old Finnish state education.
