Best Defence
Don't you just love those nonsensical anomalies between English and American? Defense/ License verbs in English, nouns in American, Defence/Licence the opposite.
While I was taught BE in school only I tend to speak and write AE now. Sometimes I misspell words or mix AE with BE though. Funny thing is I started reading a novel by a British writer and had to look up certain words ... pretty devastating.
The AP Stylebook, which most newspapers use here, allows us to keep the "u" in "glamour." Woo-hoo! And you're right, nothing is lost in translation with this guy!
Don't forget the US's dropping of the letter 'u' in colour. Although I use it.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the old saying? Something about Two Nations divided by a common language?
ReplyDeleteLove the picture....
