Occasionally one runs across a term which has only recently been incorporated as an entry but which has been in use in the leftpond for decades Here in the Colonies, we hear a lot about regional usages within the USofA. We learn about the differences between UK English and US English. And, thanks to Paul Hogan and others, we have become accustomed to the occasional bit of Aussie English. I wonder very much what is happening to the English language in other places where she is spoke which are not UK, US, Canada, NZ nor Oz.

I can imagine an engaging newspaper or magazine column being written about the variety of English usage globally. I just can't imagine anybody sufficiently informed to write it.

Well, India has almost many people raised and educated in English as those countries put together. That's one flavour that is often overlooked. noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
