I love the way 'americans' say things,
except for alu min um :)
and 'im good'. 'I'm good' is so widely used.

I visited a friend's company in deepest Indiana last year, they have a "beer o'clock" on Friday afternoons. So I wander in while they're sitting around the conference table with their beers, he introduces me, and the first thing they say? "How do you pronounce aluminum?". Naturally, I corrected them with a grin :p

Thank you, very kind of you! I did get email notification of the comment added, but I don't know if you can tell how many have opened the blog... good to know I'm not completely wasting my time! It's inspired me to update it now!
