To: the scotsman

Sorry to take issue with ya,Scotsman (well,take issue with the BBC that is) but I can only see one or two that are used here.And being a huge,longtime,fan of Britcoms and British drama I’m more familiar with these words than are most Yanks.Most Yanks (not including Osama Obama,obviously) have great respect for Britain but that doesn’t cause us to use your words.Canadians,OTOH,use many of *our* words....”gas”...”bucks”...”soccer” among quite a few others.

A Canadian speaks proper Queen’s English. Of course then the greatest Canadian poet is a francophone of Irish descent named Emile Nelligan. One of the poets maudit who want mad and lost his talent!
