MPW, my children mock me because i enjoy English lit (Agatha Christie, Shakespeare, etc)
and used to enjoy TV programs my daughter calls "British Guy Solves Murder Mystery".

i'm kinda ashamed you had to define the word "mad" for us... :)


 
Canadian English used to mean rote British learning. Grades 7-9, all we did was fill blackboards with grammar to the nth degree. I thought I was through, then 10-12 French grammar with loads of blackboards filled with weird tenses, and noun cases in German.

Who knew it would actually all come in handy, one day, for studying God's word with ease?

Haha did you think I was permanently angry?

It's ok, I have lots of American friends I'm learning but even so I get caught out occasionally. Trust me though we don't say "old boy", "cheerio" and all those other so-called English expressions these days, I think you picked them up from WWII movies? It's old school.
