  I wish I could get rid of the 1 off my user name. I can’t see a list anywhere with moderators on it.

  I think I did message Simon when I first signed up but never got a reply.

  Hi Wifi Bandit.

  Are there copies of this letters in Spanish? Their equivalents from the Spanish branch would be fantastic if available.

  Also if you have the UK versions, I'd be very grateful.

  It used to be illegal in the UK to ask for money for charity. Even to rattle their collection tin at you too, although they always did it.

  Its not really charity if you’re forced or guilted into it.

  Languages, Dialects, Accents

  just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

  first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

  red, arrow, break.

  @Scratch Me

  You can choose to do good things and be a kind, decent person on your own and because you choose to, not because of some paradise on Earth nonsense.

  Positive things? Theocratic Ministry School made me confident when speaking in public; handy for business conferences.
