Re: the language barrier!!!
Does anybody else have trouble when they have to spell something out:
I need to spell both my first and last name, constantly BUT the vowel sound are different, so I still have trouble. I have taken to giving my drivers licence, save my embarrassment. :o |

Don't start me on vowel sounds ..... in Barbershop singing all vowel sounds have to match as well as notes to tune and make a "unit sound" Quite amusing in a chorus of some 50 voices, including South African, French, "British" (me), Irish, and Japanese. ...... not to mention "Newfies"! :eek::rofl: |

Re: the language barrier!!!
When telling new Canadian friends last night about an appointment time of my OH's, we said it was at half three and she laughed delightedly and said "Oh I am going to start speaking British like you, it's so quaint ", when I asked what could possibly have been sooo amusing she said I should have said - three thirty:blink:
