Semper Fi !BUT: No US MARINE is EVER "former Marine". ONCE a MARINE always a MARINE.
Well we go get our car "tags" for the car. When it is attached the tag becomes a License Plate on the car. I am from AZ we call it a tag. My DH is from Texas he calls it a tag. My cousins from the east coast of US call it a license plate, as does my son in law from Michigan up North east.I have never heard license tag in the US. It's "license plate" Occasionally, I've heard license plates referred to as simply 'tags," but it's not common.
What bra?I understand that the definition of an American bra is, 'one Yank and it's off'.
Even if his name was Lee Harvey Oswald?Semper Fi !
WGFEven if his name was Lee Harvey Oswald?
Oh well, I got the number plate part right.I have never heard license tag in the US. It's "license plate" Occasionally, I've heard license plates referred to as simply 'tags," but it's not common.

Herb is a short nick name for Herbert. Herbs (pronounced erbs) are chives, thyme, oregano, parsley, mint, rosemary, etc.I don't use erbs - I use Herbs![]()
...and 'boots' are what one wears on the feet.Very confusing is that in America the boot of a car is the trunk
I used to watch that show!Rosemary and Thyme can also be 2 female British women who keep finding dead bodies in the gardens that they work in.

Me too. I like British TV mysteries, I like gardening, and I like that old (pre-Simon & Garfunkel) English folk tune used as the show's instrumental theme. What a hoot! No matter that those two knew the likelihood that with each job there'd be two cadavers, they soldiered on as landscaper/planters!I used to watch that show!
There we go...someone with a bit of education. Many words in English originate in French, which explains the spellings....such as theatre, centre, etc.The French omit all âhâ sounds,
Knackered. A kind old timer who I have often bumped into at my New Jersey townâs library came from England, growing up in Malvern and Ledbury and he uses âknackeredâ frequently.
Well that's just bonzer.Well, since I wasn't able to sleep tonight, I decided to take a look at this thread. I wish to thank each and every one of you for entertaining me as I really need a good laugh. Carry on, mates.![]()
Heh. I would have thought that Brit spell checkers would reference the Queen's English.I often feel it
The internet spell corrector can drive one nuts. Why canât they spell proper English instead of the American version.
After all we have the original & correct![]()
I'm not so sure...OTOH, as I used to tell my former English wife, 340 million people cant be wrong..![]()
