It makes you realise what a difference there is between us and them, foreign in all but language and that differs more as time passes by. do other here agree, or am I wrong? Sue has an English born relative that was in the USAF for many years, he made his home in the States and married a local girl. When their son went to school the parents were called in because the son was having difficulty with spelling and grammar etc,. However, once the "English" teacher heard the father speak she apologised for not realising the son was speaking and writing English. I lived and worked in Paris for 5 years in the 1950s. Once I was stopped in the street by a young woman who said, "Excuse me. Do you speak American?" To which I could truthfully say, "No, I'm sorry, I only speak English." I left her staring at me in amazement. Hugh -- Hugh Newbury www.evershot-weather.org |
