i agree. but one thing though. and im not sure if im the only one. but, when i read a post of wayne's and i see a .uk email address i tend to read it in my head in his native tongue. now, he may be an american transplant and im WAYYY wrong. but i do not think so. why? well, i think that there is a sharp difference between posts between a couple of the people on lists that im on. the dudes from australia are different from the guys in the uk. which is different from us dumb americans :) jk, well, kinda... i guess.
anyway, my point is... i agree with you :) you have to admit that when you read ANYTHING ben forta types that you read it in his VERY british accent. quite a cool one, i must say, he is fun to listen to. not to mention on the espn radio show "The Herd - with Colin Cowherd" he had a caller in the last 2 months, straight outta london, that made some small talk about a football something or other and then colin told his producer to put the music on that reminds him of a stuffy british professor... and then the guy went on with his candor. it was sooo funny to listen to colin immediately have THAT picture in his head of the ultra intelligent british dude, SIMPLY BASED on his VOICE! the man coulda been a hooligan responsible for any number of bad things at football matches, but his voice saved him that day! tw On 12/15/05, Jerry Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I didn't mean you are like Larry, or have the same thoughts on things, > or that there is anything wrong with you or Larry or your views. > > But it does make me realize that although english is a common language > (along with the England, Ireland, Wales, Australia, etc), and we seem > a lot alike, there are some pretty basic differences that go pretty > deep.
