I keep telling my husband that I think he's adorable and he's *soooo* going to find a special lady because I have a feeling alot of women in the US just think he's the greatest! What a sweetie!

I told my therapist if he'd spent his whole growing up thinking he was going to have a rock strike him into the ground (ala Paradise Lost, Paradise Found book) that he'd have a tendency to be a little jumpy, too! Have you this symptom even as an "out" person? If you have gotten rid of it, how did you accomplish this?

A Newbie NO MORE...
by Badger inhe was a simple, somewhat bright, but really geeky indian boy...struggled with his faith and personal problems.... .
but he found a group of great friends with shoulders to cry on and to celebrate all that was good in his life, which he a built in spite of others who claimed to be family and friends.
you are the reason for 100 deluded, inane posts by me...the badger!.

So it IS pronounced "whinging" as in WINGing? How interesting! Not WINE-ing? I never did get an answer for this.

I am actually *not* trying to be interesting. My husband says, when I spell things like this, that I am "trying to be interesting." I tell him that I don't have to *try* it, because I already am. My Mother was actually a good Dub mom. She encouraged me to read, and to read a lot of early Brit lit. I learned to spell from reading. To me, humor was spelled "humour" , color was "colour" etc. I got marked off on a lot of words in school because I spelled them the Brit way, because I was used to reading British works. I watch alot of BBC because I totally identify with their sense of humour.. hehehe. I love "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Fawlty Towers." I am a big fan of Monty Python. I just love the Brits.. and the more I spell like them, the more British I become in "me own mind."

I've so enjoyed my conversations with the folks from the UK and Australia on here. I'm enchanted by their darling expressions, and different banter than we have in the US. But I've always noticed one thing. Where we say someone is "whining" -- the UK folks always use "whinging." At first, I thought it was a typo, then I started noticing it in several people's posts that were from the UK. When you use this term vocally do you say: winging or is it prounounced the same as in the US: whining?
I thought it might be fun to start a thread about the different terms we all use, and their pronounciation and usage. I noticed that in the UK and Australia they always say "bloody" this or "bloody" that. Is that considered profane there? I always loved the term "take a fancy" to something. That is *so cute*! Some other terms that I've heard the Brits and Aussies use:
Bonnett = the hood of a car
Boot = the truck of a car
Pram = baby carriage
there's many more! I'd also like to hear what others think of American accents. Do they sound strange to you there? Is there a myriad of different types of English accents, as there are in the US? How can I recognize the different ones?
