Actually the only commnuication problem between us USA'ers and our Brit friends is when the slang and parochial terms come rolling out. For example I beleive that Lu is my girlfriends nick name, you Brits have something different in mind when you speak of the lu.

You'll need to talk to an Australian!! You see we've learned to drop all those silly parts of words..like the beginnings and endings... to make 'em eazy ta say! TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/28/2004 11:26:13 AM   Its LOO Ens :o) and it means toliet :o) A few variants, just off the top of my head: Fender= Wing or bumper Trunk= Boot (rear lugage compartment on a car) Hood= Bonnet Rotors= Brake discs Sissy bar= Gay club Ok the loast one was a joke ;o)) But none of the others are slang, and they are only a very Very small proportion of words that differ completely between The Queens English, and US English. One must not for get that English has been the main language of ones country for 1000`s of years, the USA adopted or language, so any slang or changes have been made Stateside and not in the UK, therefore UK English is the Real English :o) TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/28/2004 11:30:20 AM   Before the USA was discovered when Christopher Columus tripped over it looking for a route via the West to India, the USA was Not an English speaking country at all, and that was in 1492 I believe, it was only UK settlers going there who took English to the natives :o) Man Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/28/2004 11:40:22 AM   That's right Tim. They were the Pilgrims who had fled England because religious persecution. TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/28/2004 11:41:48 AM   Yes indeed, and since then everyones been persecuted ;o)) Man Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/28/2004 11:46:22 AM   Yes, but at least they had the decency to speak English while they were doing it!!.................notice how I kept that on topic? ensata Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/28/2004 11:47:39 AM   But you Limeys are our heros (after all you did give us the Beatles)! Don't make us feel bad. The truest English you can find comes from our inner city hoods and our hip hop music.

Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/28/2004 1:49:18 PM   Tim - We'll take English as it has developed. (You must admit that many of the new words added to English in recent years and used by those of us on both sides of the pond - are of American origin). We reserve for you the English that was developed by the Anglos and Saxons - Old English. Like Beowulf in the original form.
