I stumbled today on a word-junky
blog some of you might enjoy. The author's primary interest is difference in usage between Great Britain and the U.S., explored in two ways made possible by the Internet: comments from geographically distributed English speakers, and the Google tool that allows us to make charts of the usage of a word or phrase over time, contrasting the ".us" with the ".gb" style.
"Panto" and "chokka" are interesting words.
ReplyDeleteCool blog. Went out for a cheeky pint just the other night.
