I think it might be useful so that Lois and Clark actually sound American for those that learned the other version of English... “Rules only make sense if they are both kept and broken. Breaking the rule is one way of observing it.” --Thomas Moore "Keep an open mind, I always say. Drives sensible people mad, I know, but what did we ever get from sensible people? Not poetry or art or music, that's for sure." --Charles de Lint, Someplace to Be Flying

I'm not sure how helpful this is in writing American-sounding Lois and Clark, Laura, since it mainly seems to explain some regional British slang to an American ear, though in places we get American equivalents for UK English words. I actually have the book advertised for sale on the site - again, it's aimed at explaining some British vernacular to Americans and is intended to be humorous (which it is ). As for 'the other' version of English, I think Australians would argue that there is at least one other version... If anyone is looking for a good American-British/British-American online dictionary, try this one , which has been linked here before. Wendy Just a fly-by! waves
