The USA and the UK are frequently described as two nations divided by a common language.

It all originated in the UK, but those who migrated to the USA evolved the language differently to those back home.

It is frequently complicated by the large numbers of accents and dialects in the UK. John, for example, speaks English, but uses a lot of words that you will rarely hear outside Scotland (although they're usually understood by most in the UK)

We frequently end up translating UK English into US and vice versa in the CDR :D
Don't forget gibberish.
Wibble !
Where's Noel ?

I understand.

In Germany we have some different dialects. When a no native German speaker visit for example Bavaria he/she would understand/ comprehend nearly nothing from what is spoken there.
Bavarian are a special sort of people.:D
But I live in Lower Saxony and speak clear German without any dialect.:rolleyes:
Nobody understands me, in any dialect.
Booooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes.
The "Queens" English and American English are a little different.
In the same way that Spanish IN Spain Is different than Spanish in say, Colombia.
English throughout the UK is different as is English across America with some words having different meaning.
Sometimes (a lot of time) when CDR UK members are talking about something, I don't have a clue what it's about.
When my wife and I go to South Carolina, I have to pretty much translate things for her.
Does wife mean the same as wifey ?
Evening, Ed.

Hello @skyee
Welcome to the C ( cold ) D ( dark ) R ( room ).
It `s a place where nice people meet to chat with each other. You are welcome if you want to join.
But attention, it is very dark and cold here. We are sitting on armadillos and a one legged pirate serve some drinks. Don`t step on a hedgehonk and beware of the nasty meerkats.
Sometimes a yellyfish lighten up the darkness a little bit.
Today I miss @Tidgys Dad. He is the first member who created the CDR for us. He is our leader, the good ghost of the CDR you can say.
Bless. :<3:

Th two pet shps locally that want to buy babies from me are no good.
One sells baby redfoot on rabbit pellets. Dry. And the other has theirs on mulch, but with a high sided water bowl that the tortoises can't possibly get into to drink or soak.
I pointed these issues out to the management and nothing was changed. So.....Sorry. Not for sale.
Bravo! :):tort::)

I enjoy the cold and the dark, It's a comfortable sort of place to lurk. 2017 a year of not very happy change for me but keep looking to the positive in everything! Not always easy though!
