Hi Karin,

Do you know Rebecca? You write like she does. (I like her writing...she =
makes me laugh.) Look her up (or is that down in some other language?).

Rupert,

Having arrived in Canada (Newfoundland) from South Africa, (we speak =
English
there!!!, UK English) I was faced with a blotto look on any face that =
heard
the word "trolley". Total blank, no recall. Where I live now, that word
"trolley" does not exist in any one's vocab. Its called a "cart".

Where I came from, we would "reverse" our cars, here its called "backing
up". So far, my teacher has been calling my clarinet a clarinet. I will =
ask
him tomorrow to spell it for me...
