Stolen unashamedly from a status on my Canadian friend, Dale's Facebook page.
Good, eh?
Life in north east England (yes, we've moved!) with an eccentric Welshman and a small white dog that thinks he's a Rottweiler.
So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...

Modern English has a much larger reservoir of words than any other language there has ever been. It isn't precious. It is adaptable and happily takes on board useful words or expressions from other languages. In Canada, it must be weird enduring equalisation pressures from the French speaking community because their language is, relatively speaking, so narrow and inflexible.
Just spotted your piece (from 2007) about Keynsham, spelt K.E.Y.N.S.H.A.M. I recently lost a bet about someone knowing what I was talking about. I couldn't believe it!
Quite a relief here when you're learning welsh, though, YP!
I guess you have to be from a certain generation to know about good old Horace, Cro. ;)
English is an equal opportunity language that's for sure.
I love it... superb and will hang on to this thought for my next english group
Indeed, SP. ;)
Good idea, Sage.
