In reply to:

Where I com from we'd say,
...........could we have more context
.......or could we have more of the context.

Is your phrasing, a context, another instance of the difference between Britspeak and USspeak?


Certainly at work when I'm asked what x means or how to translate y, I usually reply "What's your context?", i.e. in what context have you found this word. I think I would differentiate between Could you give more of the context and Could you give more of a context, with the latter implying as a general practice and the former referring to the specific instance. To be honest that is just a reconstruction, I didn't think much about which to use at the time.
