It's Friday! ♥
Jun. 17th, 2005 02:42 pmGoing to go see Howl's Moving Castle again tonight, although this time we're going to see it subbed!
Obviously, I'm going into it this time knowing the thing that I didn't like about it, but I'm looking forward to appreciating all that I did like about it even more because the acting is going to be soooo much better! ♥
Oooh! I've been having a lot of fun customizing the new LJ layout. I haven't been doing anything very special or big, but I'm getting it the way I like it. And working out bugs with the people on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
s2flexisquares is a lot of fun (not that I'm doing so much of the fixing part). But they're cool. ♥
I'm so glad it's Friday; I don't want to work here anymore~! ::laments::

Because of this post and response, I wondered, what is, exactly, the big difference between British and American grammar? Because, although there were some examples of British grammar and punctuation in Eats, Shoots & Leaves that I didn't agree with, I found the book to be wonderful and it filled me with a great joy because well, here was another grammar nerd who was making it clear to everyone and their mother exactly what was proper and what was not. Whether British or American, I deeply appreciate the sentiment.
So, to refresh my memory, I did a Yahoo!Search on "the difference between British and American grammar", and came up with this link, which took me to this link from Wikipedia where I proceeded to drool over shinigami's monitor, fall in love with the site, and wish to have its babies. ♥ (Notice the use of the comma before the "and" -- a personal style preference).
I followed links on: rhoticity, diphthong, Received Pronunciation, Estuary English, Mid-Atlantic accent, and Standard Midwestern accent, before getting back to the first page and viewing the grammar section.
I'm basking in the glow of a highly satisfying brain-usage session. ::sigh:: I do miss learning about grammar. I should go back to college and take linguistics classes; it's what I should have taken to begin with.
