Who "bites" man? I`m sorry but I haven`t a clue what you`re talking about.
I`m English. Are there several American meanings to this word which you are
using, which you do not bother to explain to the list properly.

I would like to see more Americans use and write English in a way which can
be understood by everyone on the list. If it is an American "site" then
that is no excuse to use exclusively an Americanisation of the English
Language.

I`m trying to contribute to <everyone> in a way which most can understand.
Why should I bother when others seem not to. Come on you Yanks - could you
please explain the undermentioned text to the English, the Aussies, to
Holland, France, Germany etc.

Best,

Tony W.
