I read a lot in English, and for the last years I often thought I remembered a piece of grammar wrongly(?). But it seems that the use of the language just changes. It is the same here, only much worse, because there is so much English mixed into the everyday language.Hildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447112312199912513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-33262730147700396582015-11-08T03:09:39.310+00:002015-11-08T03:09:39.310+00:00I must be careful not to titter whilst I tatter......I must be careful not to titter whilst I tatter...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-19728863818836313082015-11-08T01:19:52.153+00:002015-11-08T01:19:52.153+00:00Congratulations on finishing the vest and making t...Congratulations on finishing the vest and making those useful notes for yourself. <br />- Beth in OntarioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-50899112629812738472015-11-08T01:18:42.510+00:002015-11-08T01:18:42.510+00:00Yes, a friend in England once commented, "Ame...Yes, a friend in England once commented, "Americans aren't destroying the language, they're preserving it!"<br />- Beth in OntarioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-90450033840959807402015-11-07T18:04:26.394+00:002015-11-07T18:04:26.394+00:00Well done for finishing that vest with everything ...Well done for finishing that vest with everything else that you have going on.

I think I use knit and knitted as the mood strikes. I recall a conversation with a British co-worker years ago about 'got' vs 'gotten' with gotten appearing to be a US aberration. And I think that unlike the German woman, most of us would be hard-pressed to know what an irregular verb is these days.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-73415749113316312912015-11-07T10:52:19.226+00:002015-11-07T10:52:19.226+00:00......only a very small doily as I am a beginner t.........only a very small doily as I am a beginner tatter...<br />http://www.roseground.com/books/tatting-books/festive-snowflakes-amp-ornamentsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-45241577377806347072015-11-07T10:38:32.899+00:002015-11-07T10:38:32.899+00:00So pleased about the vest.
