computers are a lot like a multi-tool screwdriver; most people just want the phillips head.

Hi and welcome to BE. You'll probably save yourself some aggro (from Mods and members) if you read the Site Rules if you haven't already done so.

I had a friend who'd been in the States since the 50s. Her accent was American but she use British words from time to time. How about you? Have you lost your British accent or does your everyday language still contain the odd British English word?

I've been in the US for five years myself and like you, I live in the South.

Thanks for the welcome. Lynne I live just a few miles north of Gulf Shores.
I think most of my Emglish has stayed with me, I was asked at the Supermarket by the checker why I didn,t talk like the Geeko in the TV commercial.
