Joe,

You think it is silly and I don't, so you and I have different points of
view. You can call it English , American or nothing at all, but when
people say one thing and it means another to someone else, it is NOT the
same. There are words and phrases that are unique to the British and
have a very different meaning here. Heck, sometimes I think Matthew
(Lloyd) speaks a language from another planet. Mostly though I find out
two or three days later what he really meant. So you keep speaking your
universal English and I will continue to speak my American English. I
am sure we can figure out what we are saying collectively. And Matthew,
I love you in spite of the fact that I have to ask Rebecca to explain
what you say sometimes!
