Very interesting. Verandah was in common usage when I lived in Rhodesia. In
SA it has been largely surpassed by the Afrikaans "stoep".

Thanks, Alan!
Among the many peculiarities of the former North American colonies is that
the terminal "h" is optional, both in spelling and pronunciation. When one
of us Yankees (northerners) says "veranda", you can be sure there's no "h"
in sight. When a southerner says "verandah", the third syllable trails off
into a beautiful soft ending, and the "h" is very much there.
Cheers,
Rick

Also exquisite in a completely different way. Very appealing compared with
the "functional" architecture of today. I would like to see a more normal
shot of the whole house. BTW, I though only the cockneys dropped their "h"s
(Verandah)?
