Come on, ladies! You have a sense of humour (or is that two senses of
humour, one each). That's all you need to watch CNN.

Fowler's _Modern English Usage_ (1926) has this to say:

First(ly), secondly, lastly.

Those are generally clues to the nationality of the author
of English-language books I read - along with "orientate"
and "orientated" in place of "orient" and "oriented".
Things like "our" endings for words Americans end simply
"or" (honour/honor, humour/humor) are a less reliable
indication, since many Americans (myself included) use
either (depending upon context).

Where are all the news items about trafficking in infants, then?


You don't get out much, do you?

Australia isn't in the EU.


I think that Martin is aware of that. Next question?

It's the same joke over and over, though.

Also words such as 'spelt' and 'whilst', rather than 'spelled' and
'while'.

Except in West Yorkshire, where "while" means "until". In the 1960s, British
Railways sign boards saying "Do not Cross While The Red Lights Are Flashing"
vastly increased the death rate. While had to be amended to When.

And farther north (Scotland) there's 'whiles'.
