Welcome to my perfumed garden

LOL. I got that way when I was working for CBS. I had to call the BBC correspondent to check if certain bit of my piece were briticisms or not and he had to admit that, from moonlighting for the US press corps, he just didn't know any more, and far from it just being Americanisms in British speak, I hear more and more Americans saying wank and shag and bollocks (why is it all the rude words?) and - ::sigh::

I mean, the spelling doesn't bother me one bit, in fact, I quite enjoy seeing the differences but it does seem to matter a LOT to some people - and I know that American spellers get incredible grief over in HP fic so I'm honestly not just standing here, clothes in tatters, hair all on end pointing an icy, accusing finger, screaming 'it's YOU people' *G*

(Icy, pointy, accusing finger duly withdrawn).
