They actually weren't as ugly as I expected but they were still ugly.

I wouldn't mind seeing the gray pants with red jerseys on homecoming as a quasi-throw back look like they did with the white pants and black jersey for homecoming last year.

Did they order grey pants as well?

Grey? Cheerio ol' mate!

I don't know if we ordered gray pants or not.

Habit of my profession. Gray, just doesn't look right anymore.

Because it isn't right. The true English word is spelled "grey".

We fought two wars to be able to spell it gray.

Grey/gray
Theatre/theater
Storey/story
Liquorice/licorice
cypher/cipher
doughnut/donut


There are a lot of them.
Honestly, I get them confused all the time.

May be a stupid question, but I'm not the word guy.......you are.....but are the 're' endings (centre, theatre) more in the lines of French?

Yes, they evolved from the French words, and the spelling stayed the same. US Dialect as I am sure you know likes to make things spell like they sound.

The average person in Britain uses a vocabulary about 10 times that of the average American.

Tulane wore blue jerseys with blue numerals and it was nearly impossible to read. This morning on a radio show one of the play-by-play announcers said that he quit trying to identify and just start guessing at it.

If you want real fun, go onto a uniquely British website (I love to use school websites) and read what is written aloud as if it was a normal conversation. You literally sound like an academic scholar.

I once read a letter to parents that went something like this.
"Here at ______, we tend to frown upon such trinkets as alarms used to signal the plenary of our lesson time. Rather it is up to professors to use the plenary of their lesson wisely and chivy students to their next lesson before returning to their classroom."

If I tried sending that letter home to parents, I'd have a whole bunch of people saying that I didn't know how to use English correctly.

I understand. I showed a few friends of mine and announced that I was moving to England and there was nothing they could do to stop me.

I was only half joking, but I digress.

Would watch them if they had packed your bags, got you a ticket on the new Titanic and wished you ado.

Haha...my friends have long since learned to accept my crazy rantings about what I like about the way the UK is run. They know I really don't mean half of what I say...I just wish that a lot of the problems in this country could be fixed.
