Well, in the UK we say the long version. I don't really mind American spellings and pronunciation (basil and oregano case in point) as long as you are in America, but please, let the rest of us keep to our way of doing things! <br /><br />Interesting that you write with UK spelling though. Do people comment about that to you?<br /><br />Have fun with the 3BT format!<br /><br />KKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12906323415664821040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32907666.post-1160571000650127862006-10-11T08:50:00.000-04:002006-10-11T08:50:00.000-04:00Hey Greta!I'm Emelie from Sweden (also a friend of...Hey Greta!<BR/>I'm Emelie from Sweden (also a friend of Melissa commeting your blog earlier..;) ), and I have to say in my opinion, British English looks more beautiful, and like it is the start of it all, and American English is a bit simplified. In school, we learn to write in British but we have an American accent when we talk, how odd is that? Though I have to say I admire the differences thinking a language has been shaped by the persons using it. Great blog!<BR/><BR/>EmelieEmeliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107557513292803344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32907666.post-1160570526022680012006-10-11T08:42:00.000-04:002006-10-11T08:42:00.000-04:00Well...I'm just a lazy American who doesn't feel l...Well...I'm just a lazy American who doesn't feel like adding extra letters to her words :-P<BR/><BR/>Fascinating link, though, thanks for sharing!emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05192776503076661119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32907666.post-1160564033625827182006-10-11T06:53:00.000-04:002006-10-11T06:53:00.000-04:00Hey Greta, Thankyou so very much for your comment ...Hey Greta, <BR/><BR/>Thankyou so very much for your comment on my blog, it may sound stupid but i was very excited to see you had written me a comment!
