One of the amazing things about this community is that although these differences raise their heads from time to time, feathers so rarely get ruffled. When I first arrived, my (still very british) sense of humour got me into trouble occasionally. I was forgiven very quickly, and I have learned to keep my sarky comments to myself, in case someone thinks I actually mean them!

And there was a time when I knew I spoke and wrote English. Now I have doubts...;-)
