Sandi,

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Brit English IS English.

OURS (American) is a "knock off" built upon years of adding new words to the dictionary.

And.. "I threw a few brit terms in my newsletter when I returned from jolly ol' England etc and I got all kinds of flak for it..."

I can understand that. You're NOT British.

Pete
