I wouldn't take that for granted. When you study English as a foreign language some words are the last you'll learn.

Years ago I worked for a semiconductor company with quite a few east Asian customers. One, from Korea, was a company called "Prix". Naturally, when we pronounced it we said "Pree", ala Français. "No", they said quite definitely, "we're pricks".

Customers, you can't live without them.

Thanks. I have found that words are important when dealing with different flavors of English. About a hundred years ago I took a whitewater rafting trip in the Rio Grande gorge, near Taos.

Afterwards, one guide told a story. He had a boatload of Australian tourists, and, at a critical point really wanted all of them to paddle hard, so he said "Dig in!". They all turned around and looked at him like he had two heads. What kind of septic jargon is that? Shortly afterwards they all took a swim.

Good Lord, you guys are long winded. No way I can keep up with you.

What I want to know is, why does he seem so angry all the time? When Reagan's brain turned to mush he still managed to present as genial and distinguished.

This one has a happy ending

And a very merry christmas to you too. Or whatever floats your boat -- the solstice is coming right up, and I'm looking forward to it.
