- I seems to me that this discussion is mostly, if not completely carried
- out by americans. My advice to you is that if you want to improve your
- english language then learn the King's english, not those barbarian dialects
- the yanks choose to utter. It is my understanding that the yanks find a
- properly spoken UK accent "cute". Well, I won't call myself an expert, but
- I have been to USA several times, and some of those wordings one get to
- hear notably in California make my toes curl. And behold; In some restaurants
- they don't give people utensils to eat with.
