Phyliss pointed out Humph! Which colonists? The ones in N America or the rest of the erstwhile Empire? As it happens we all spell it the same way but I chortle at the inference that Americans have somehow expunged their colonial origins.
Well said, Phyllis. You do realise, of course that New Zealand is rapidly being "colonised" from Sth Africa. In the province where I live, Hawke's Bay, meeting a GP without a Sth African accent is becoming unusual. A friend who moved from the Republic in 1967 had a braai at her place a couple of years ago, and of the 30 non-family guests, 28 were doctors!
