How does that apply at all? Camilla Send a noteboard - 20/05/2010 11:43:49 PM
it's a message from the Queen!


The rest of it is meh, considering divergent grammatical conventions for the most part.


One reason I like Romance languages is that their grammatical structures reminds me of certain Southern grammatical rules, ones that make much more sense than British or Yank ones.

So you don't say it like "Ace of Basil"? *NM* Tom - 20/05/2010 04:33:10 PM 160 Views
Heh. It's more like, Razzle, dazzle BASIL! *NM* Avendesora - 21/05/2010 02:32:58 AM 168 Views

YES! nossy - 21/05/2010 02:52:05 AM 362 Views
American English contains a lot more mistakes than that. Tom - 20/05/2010 03:58:42 PM 400 Views
Oh, and for the record: the use of "table" as a verb in politics still confuses me for about 5 sec. Tom - 20/05/2010 04:38:35 PM 388 Views

His main two points had nothing to do with all that, though... Legolas - 20/05/2010 11:39:28 PM 483 Views
I know. I just merely said I disliked the accent and that the divergent dialects were just that Larry - 20/05/2010 11:59:25 PM 381 Views

It's not his accent, it's his voice. *NM* Rebekah - 21/05/2010 12:26:18 AM 160 Views
