Ok. I've been here long enough. I think I should do one of these.

If you'd rather use a different Google site, like Google.com, no matter where you are, try one of the following tips:

• Click the Google.com link on any other domain.
• Choose a Google domain manually by visiting the Language Tools page (the section with the flags).
• Bookmark http://www.google.com/ncr. This is an alternative web address for Google.com that always takes you to Google.com without redirecting you.

I find all sorts of things on the internet. Maybe this will help someone else as well. What have you found?

What have you found?

another american based company's ineptness to understand there is an English UK ... I really find it unexceptionable.


[edit] ps,
I have found English UK is actually listed as a 'foreign language' but no translation is expected in the near future, so I signed up to help.

I favor movies with plenty of color, autos with large trunks and good antenna, driving on the pavement then going home to my apartment which overlooks the Thames River and making a peanut butter and jello sandwich. At the moment it's fall time and so I wrap up warm to go to the drug store making sure I'm wearing a good pair of pants held up with my best suspenders.

How's that?

'pants & suspenders' - snigger

How's that?

You need a language course:

HELLO, HELLO, HELLO (1974)

Shouldn't it have been sidewalk and not pavement?

You are correct, I meant to say 'driving' on the pavement - duly edited
