Did you ever wonder why Americans all sound American, and Australians all sound Australian..... where did the original colonists come from to create those distinctive sounds?
The Americans came from Devon. I've been caught out there!! Not sure about the Australians.
I did Troilus and Criseyde for A level. The only quote I remember (excuse spelling) is yferen her eyebrows joinen. Apparently, this was a bad thing. Maybe tweezers hadn't been invented.
Spelt is a type of wheat so I would use "spelled" tho I imagine most people would get the gist if the subject being discussed related to literacy as opposed to agriculture.
But they don’t all sound the same @steveTu … the US accents and colloquialisms vary hugely … think of the voices of the Deep South compared with those of Philadelphia, Texas, New England or the Catskills.
Although the US and other accents do vary, an Australian accent is generally recognisable as Aussie and a US accent as being from the USA. I can generally also pretty quickly pick up Kiwi or Canadian accent even though I have no doubt there are regional variations. A French Canadian accent would be a different test.
That is one EU law which should be retained. Hopefully any UK cosmetics company which does resume animal testing will quickly be identified. What possible justification can there be when non-animal testing has clearly been effective for the past quarter century?
I was reading in the Which? magazine that the EU food safety regulations will soon no longer apply. It doesn't seem as if there is anything to replace them
I'm afraid that this is just one of the extremely unpalatable announcements that will be made quietly while there's the kerfuffle over the coronation. Announcing of unpopular stuff whilst they can get it 'under the radar' always happens. We don't get to know the half of it.
When there's always biscuits in the tin, where's the fun in biscuits ?
