Rick, I made the mistake of thinking my son-in-law, from Antigua, would be bi-lingual. Not so, raised in a strictly British atmosphere, although with a certain Island patois mixed in, nothing more than we've seen in the Colloquialisms threads, so, darlin' just remember there are British Carribean islands where English is the first language.

This is so very interesting, though, I hope some Mudders from there do show up. I just finished James Michenor's book, Carribean. While fictionalised, his research was exhaustive, and he does mix some non-fiction into all parts, explaining which is which. He also includes a great bibliography. I learned so much from reading it, of the history of the "Spanish Lake". My son-in-law is eager to read it now.

Good idea for a thread, Rick, thanks.

Skarpi darlin', I am going to have to take some more lessons! For now, I can only say:

Góða nótt og sofðu vel! And:

Allt það besta, katlaughing
