To clarify my outlook on this, my own country has some quaint local naming conventions for things that are internationally known by other names. Our round ball footballers play soccer, but I have to concede that soccer, more than any other code of football, has the precedence of popularity to claim the name "Football".
If an Aussie says he likes to wear thongs in hot weather, look at his feet and not his trousers. Even so, we are amusedly aware that it is we who are out of step with the world. There's my point, you need to be aware of when it's you who is out of step, and not claim that the world is out of step with you. regards, Anthony On 30 July 2012 10:01, Anthony Farr <farranth...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 30 July 2012 09:58, J.C.
