A big “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to AWAD talk
I’ve had a wonderful time communing with people who speak all those other Englishes around the world. I’ve failed to persuade AnnaStrophic to add any extra consonants to her words as we have travelled together through the dictionary. I’ve made Jackie
but she’s kept her “pecker up” despite the onslaught of a whole new vocabulary (how goes the rhyming slang, Jackie?) I’ve observed Tsuwm reach for the OED on more than one occasion to throw light where there was darkness (IKICLIU). I’ve befuddled Aenigma with my failure to accept that there is only one way to spell color. I’ve admired those with better grammar than I; decipher the code in search of perfect sense. I’ve learnt to know y’all as more than virtual friends and have accepted the quirks of regional language but.
Wearing my “veteran” badge with pride – Yours with affection - Jo
