hmm, maybe that's why i don't like the name. i grrew up in England and i have very negative thoughts about the name. perhaps because i've heard the word before in a negative context. i left england when i was 10, so i wasn't old enough to fully get the differences between english & american: i am still confused by certain spellings and phrasings.

in a book for high school English, they used the term "the bottom of the garden" and there was a footnote saying it meant the far end of the yard. i said to my friend that they must think we're stupid to put in such an obvious footnote, and she said she hadn't known what the book was saying without the note. recently, my brother asked my dad "when did they stop spelling tire/tyre with a 'Y'?" haha.

wait, britons spell tire with a y??

are you joking? (not being snarky, i can't tell). yes, it's spelled tyre. and traveler is spelled traveller. and counselor is counsellor. and of course everyone knows about colour, favourite, parlour, neighbour, behaviour, etc.

I didn't know about tyre with a Y until I actually visited England. I don't think it's as widely known as the extra U's in everything. :) Those silly brits.. always misspelling and mispronouncing everything. ;) Oh and it got to be very confusing for me, my English friend kept yelling my name while we were out on the highways.. *#@)@& Lorry this and *#@*@ Lorry that.. hehe

hrm gotta run and do a spell check.. I'm a dumb american who can't spell either. ;)
