Coyote Breath	BS: English To English Dictionary (158* d)	RE: BS: English To English Dictionary	26 Nov 03
Clew, lift, pram, lorry, hire car, motorbike, mould, bangers, and dirty dick, and... I love English as she is spoke by the British. Usually I have absolutely no trouble understanding what is being said because of the context within which it is being used. So when someone is pushing a pram I know almost instinctively that: It's a Monty Python sketch!! Our PBS local is really a BBC outlet. Most "Englishisms" make perfect sense, pram - perambulator. Still I question SOME words. aluminum is NOT spelled al-u-minium and it is missle NOT mis-sile. But, then, the poor dears over the pond have a Queen and while I'm sure she is a lovely person, she certainly doesn't know how to dress. CB (irreverent as usual)
