Always amazed how US English strayed from the home origins. Sorry to be pedantic (language history is kind of a hobby of mine), but British English has “strayed” from what it was in the 17th and 18th centuries as much as American English. Not to mention that there was even more regional variation in dialects back then than there is now, and some American dialects reflect now-vanished British dialects. Languages constantly change, and when groups separate they change in different ways. -- Curtis Pew ITS Campus Solutions [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
