"English" in England is a creature of many dialects which work as a kind of poor-man's geo-location device, telling you almost to the block where the person came from. When interacting with folks from all over the whole of the UK, as I do here, you start to get a sense of this quickly. It's every bit as distinct as Southern Hillbilly vs. New England Snob vs. Midwestern Farmer vs. Kaliforniastanista etc. is in the States. - Publius > > --- On Sun, 10/31/10, Pete Theisen <[email protected]> wrote: > >> From: Pete Theisen <[email protected]> >> Subject: Re: [OT] Where's Calco now that we really need him? >> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> >> Date: Sunday, October 31, 2010, 6:53 AM >> Publius Maximus wrote: >> > Actually, I'm in the UK, with my family, working for a >> Christian >> > charity that focuses on >> healing/discipleship/counseling.
