This thread proves why it's such a good thing to be a Swede. I can always use the Yes-English-Is-My-Second-Language - escape card.

Well, I've been told that I speak good English, a little upper-classy like, with a few American expressions thrown in, and sometimes with a Swedish accent. Also, for some reason, whenever I sperak English, my voice drops a little, making it sound more husky and full of base.
I'll post a recording as soon as I can afford to buy a microphone.

I've never been sure what the Welsh national anthem is. I've narrowed it down to two possibilities: "Bread From Evanses" or the one that goes "Mai beeth enny wee weddy preo ar gath weddy scrappo Johnny bach" (Only learned it from a Welsh bloke, [a touring Russian Choir version] never seen it written down.)

*grins at Gauche* .. Yeah, the English always say that ....
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi.. Or alternative pronounciation - My hen had a haddock and had it for tea..
Raph, spitting over everyone, as befits a Welsh speaker..
p.s. 'dita - I have NO idea what my voice is.. An odd thing for a singer/songwriter to say, I guess..

Didn't know you were Welsh Holo. Not from the splot by any chance? Do you know someone called Greg Owens...
What am I talking about. Of course you know someone called Greg Owens. Might as well have asked if you know Dai the milk. Look you.

Can we still add word peeves?
Mine: "for all intensive purposes."
All those other ones too. I was in a writing workshop with a high school teacher who used "would of" in an essay about teaching. I was very upset about it.

I'm Welsh by nationality. English by education. Neither by birth.
Go figure..

Upset about how much teachers don't know? I despaired from from first term to teaching practice then decided I couldn't work with people like that. So I didn't. Only ever had this disillusionment lifted once.
Maybe if they start the phrase properly they'll get it right: To all intents...

Well, in what place?
In narration, it's a sign of a person who can't write.
In dialogue, it's realistic. I'll admit that I usually
write it as "would've."
Similarly, I use "'cause" fairly often in dialogue
where "because" would be grammatically correct.
I'm currently writing a fairly complex story. In it, I'm
having fun with distinguishing the characters who use the
subjunctive from those who don't.

Those who can
Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
Those who can't teach, teach teachers.
Those who can't teach teachers, write textbooks about teaching teachers.
Those who can't write textbooks about teaching teachers, write reviews of the textbooks.
Those who can't write reviews of the textbooks, write letters criticising the reviews.
Those who can't write letters criticising the reviews, become politicians and decide that teachers have got it all wrong and change the educational system so that teachers can't teach and therefore nobody knows how to do.
