Merry we have something in common as my family as well is from England. I however was born in the US, and when in Rome....
I'm glad were back on track with miles and points and I certainly would never want you to not reply. Thanks again for being a "loyal subject"! Cheers!

NJDavid, don't worry about the word Ba*****ized. It is not offensive, it's just that living in Jeerze, you probably never hear offensive words that exceed four letters in length. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Nick, you spelt it "bastErdise" - it sounds as though the subject is in danger of being mistaken for a turkey or roast beef (depending on which continent one addresses).

I am neither Dutch, nor an Elm, so I shall shrug your comment off.

flygirl - Merry is a very loyal subject of Elizabeth II, and is firmly ensconced in Merry Olde England (or Cool Brittania, as the case may be, though I think he's a bit too stodgy for that). I must agree that the OED is the definitive authority on English - mine crossed the ocean with me. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I think that there is less fighting in Kosovo.

And while this site might have a US base, the Internet (not invented by Al Gore) is global as is our membership.

Marvella, great to see you back. I am awaiting a trip report!!

O E D? I thought us Texans chased those "bloody" redcoats so we wouldn't have to put up with "that" kind of English, more commonly known as TEXAN!!

All this is fun, but what does it have to do with flying, which is the purpose of this forum?

Merry...American dictionaries are just new, revised, and corrected versions of those dusty old things sitting around your houses of "higher" education. Need I point out that if we Yanks hadn't saved your British butts, arse, bum, or whatever you people call them...during the big WW Two, you'd probably be searching through your German to English Translation Book right now. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif I haven't had this much fun since my last root canal. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

PremEx, Bravo! On a very intelligent and insightful comment earlier today regarding RP. Thank you.
Again I say, "When in Rome...." and remember FlyerTalk is based in the good old USA.

Well, before Merry or Babs suggest it...I am NOT flygirl.

If you buy the OED using an affinty card you'll earn FF miles for it!

OMNI to Merry: PremEx attempting to take most caustic crown!!

[edited as it touches on PremEx's pre-life as Melissa]

And DON'T get Merry started on the Germans. He's quite fond of them, and thinks he can speak the language too.

philforest, you just may be the smartest one of all of us.

Flygirl: Many thanks, I had always thought of this as an international forum, but if you are 'officially' saying it is US that is fine. I will be happy to point out to every recipient of a Freddie (what nationality is he?) that it is an American award.

Bab's: It's Elizabeth (with a Z)! (by the grace of God).

Premex: Thank you. Better late than never, but thank you all the same.
Nick

NJDavid...looks like you may want buy some stock in the Mustard Pretzel Company.
