O yes different language I reckon A lot less different from Standard English than the language talked by politicians' tame economists. We could have a long discussion about variant English, except that thanks to the aforementioned (double) collective waste of space, there's no reason for dialects to have words for these technical (but everyday) things any more. If Jack Robinson had a job now, it woyuld probably be a zero- hours contract in a call centre. I blame the English.
