Dear friends, In reference to the message sent yesterday, I keep receiving too many comments on the usages of"bath/bathe/sunbathe/swim"
There is a wide divergence of opinion when it comes to British English. Most of the comments, made by British speakers, are contradictory. British people in their 40's had an opinion that was not the same from folks in their 20's. My research was based on accredited books from reliable institutions such as Oxford, Princeton, Cambridge, Longman and my personalwith speakers from the UK. My advice: say 'take a bath' and 'swim' which are accepted in the entire English world to avoid mix-ups. Sunbathe has no problem unless you get a sunburn :-))) -- ☼ I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times ☼ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "English Learner's Cafe" group.
