I doubted this until I saw the Dixie Chicks on a TV programme and they said it! All I could do was shriek "Cliff was right!" while pointing at the TV screen.

One slang word that sticks in my mind is a word my father-in-law always used<br /> "Whotcher" .....

As I am American/Australian and have been married to him for quite a while now, I am good with translations. It is hilarious how differently us 'English' speaking people actually speak. My eldest was complaining today that it wasn't fair that he had to remember to use the British spelling of words in school. Why couldn't he use the US spelling???? According to him they are both spelled right so what difference did it make? I didn't think that he would have difficulty with that as he has always been in a school system using 'British' spelling, but obviously my few words that I have never been able to remember to spell the 'British' way have rubbed off on him. That and all of the US spellings in many of his books. I think I agree with him :-) Would have saved me lots of hassle in school when I was told I spelled everything wrong!<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893669562473986542noreply@blogger.com
