Here, "chips" come in a bag with flavours (note spelling) like barbecue and salt & vinegar. What the Brits would call crisps. But a converted delivery van that makes and sells fries is known as a chipwagon. bukharin;198521 Wrote: > The most common spelling of all -ise/-ize words in Australia is -ise Same here, probably to make it more French as David suggests. However the French word for visualise is "visualiser", and we don't go so far as to put the "r" on the end. "Faux-French" as he points out. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34865 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
