In Yorkshire (UK), I went to the baker's and bought a cake, the girl in the shop said to me "don't get fat love"... Also, I thought the word "cheers" meant "salud", but in England they use it all the time, for "thank you", for "good-bye", or "ok" ... in Barnsley (Yorkshire), the dialect sounds really "Shakespearian"... they will say "I'll kick thine ..." or even "I'll kick thee thine ..." difference in spelling English/American : Words like : neighbour/neighbor - colour/color - harbour/harbor Last edited by Frank van den Eeden : 02-24-2008 at 11:35 AM. |
