Thank you for translating LOL. I know when I lived in the States it took

me a while to understand the different words for things and I must have appeared

pretty silly as I needed a translation done :-))

LOL Judith - here in Bristol, there is a certain area which has its

own brogue. Broad Bristolian, can at times be pretty difficult to

understand, but this brogue and be pretty near impossible. Wouldn't

you know it, my husband was brought up here, and even I have

difficulties at times understanding what he is saying!!

We were on holiday in Malta one year, and made friends with a

husband and wife, who were both police officers. One day the wife,

came upto me and quietly said, what in the heck is your husband

saying, I can't understand a word he says :::)))

Anyway, this morning I am off to see the ENT specialist. When I saw

him last time, he put me on a months course of tablets, thinking I

might have acid reflux. I lose my voice at times, or it can become

very husky. Because it all look normal, he thought some acid could

be refluxing and a few drops getting onto my vocal cords.

Initially, the tablets appeared to work, but just recently I seemed

to have a slight headcold a just the odd sneeze. Low and behold my

husky voice is back. Also I want to ask him about face neuralgi,

(not my teeth, dentist checked) and ringing in my ears. I have

written a list of questions, so I will not forget:(

Judith,

My mom has live here since she was 20 and she still uses a lot of English

words. I can remember in grade school, I¹d purposely spell color the

English way ­ colour just to see if the teacher would mark it wrong so I

could challenge them LOL! I was such a brat. And yes, they would mark me

wrong.

My mom still calls her cats moggie.

Hi a - my hobby is doing web-sites. At first, I couldn't

understand why when I typed in the HTML codes for colours, it didn't

work.

LOL it finally twigged, I had to use the American spelling of Color,

before the codes would work.

All the best - Carole
