Raynes Park suicider ended up in the train cab
In message , at 08:25:24 on Thu, 7 Jan
2016, Someone Somewhere remarked: There's a USA-ian meme along the lines of "I can't imagine how bad something is". But they don't mean they are incapable of imagining it, rather it's almost "I can't imagine (as in realistically foresee) such a bad thing happening within my locality". checks locality Nope, still not in the USA... In other news, some USA-isms travel to the UK. Didn't they teach you that in Globalization 101? My seat of education predates the USA so neither spells Globalisation with a Zee nor offers "101" courses as an introduction to the subject area.... But the good news is you spotted those two USA-isms (which have travelled to the UK) and know what they mean. -- Roland Perry |
