puellapaschalis Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) Continuing the Off-Topic-ness, mea maxima culpa... British English | US English crisps | chips chips | fries jam | jelly jelly | jell-o At JFK I was once asked by some security staff to pronounce the word "aluminium". Upon doing so, and separating out the two last vowels, they erupted into adoring giggles. It only stopped when on chap noted that I was feeling a little weirded out by all this and gave me back my shoes so that I could go down to the gate. Oh, and one thing that I had to learn about Canadian English was [i]what time do you have?[/i] For me it was always [i]what time do you make it?[/i] But this thread is about nightwear, not me showing off my paltry linguistic tid-bits. *strikes breast* Love and prayers, PP Edited August 31, 2006 by puellapaschalis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puellapaschalis Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Yes, but I think Brendan might have a point. There are some questions people should just pluck up the courage to ask the relevant person in a community. Love and prayers, PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandelynmarie Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Oh puella! : Such a strange thing is language! (Especially American English!) I love watching hot stuff Oliver on Food Network because I want to learn his lingo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellapaschalis Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Ok, we've [i]totally[/i] hijacked this thread now.... Jamie Oliver speaks...funny I can't place his accent - I know so many British accents and I get confused too easily - and sometimes I actually wonder if he exaggerates it a bit for the cameras! Myself I usually speak standard British English (with what used to be called RP before the world went politically correct and spoilt all the fun), but give me two days back down in Devon and I'll be AAAARRRRRRR'ing like you'd never know. I lived in TO for a while and still can't really tell the different between someone from Windsor ON and Detroit.. Love and prayers, PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLAM Dad Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Sorry to hijack this thread about the vagaries of the English language but didn't Jennifer say that she was going to post pictures??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karin Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Actually only the postulants wear a night dress to bed in Lockport. The professed sisters and the novice's (basically everyone who has recieved the habit) wear night habits to bed. They are required to wear night habits to bed while the aspirants and postulants wear a night gown. God Bless and Mary keep Karin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
