No problem, Paul! No, I didn't think you were implying they needed changing - was just saying I didn't think they did. <g>
And certainly no need to apologise. I see what you mean now by unresolved. I'm not sure the first one 'nature's spectaculars' is so much a UK/US difference as a US/LabRat difference. It was just the way it came out on the page at the time. It's not a phrase that I've particularly heard being banded around or that even I use. Nature's splendors, maybe? That might be more commonly UK.
The second one might be more Scottish or Glaswegian phrasing than UK per se. It is a common way to phrase it, but I can only speak for my own neck of the woods. Whether it's phrased that way in England or Wales, or parts of either and not in others...is anyone's guess really.
