Hi Jon,
Thanks for the kind comment. Of course, I'm interested in connecting with you on Gather! I just accepted your request. See you soon on HWI or Gather i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Thanks for your kind comments, Stephany!

I've already congratulated you on becoming a 'Maestra' in the thread Roger started, but I found two new cards this morning in anticipation of the happy event, so I'll post the second one here.

Lots of Love,

Richard xxx

I think the only thing that has rubbed off on me from watching Hayley be interviewed is the word "gosh." I find myself saying that a lot more frequently now.

[Stephany]

Toronado, it's the same for me.
I also learned a few new English words thanks to Hayley ("busking" for instance; though I'm not sure in what context I could possibly write it in an Essay).
My English teacher (who, incidentally, is also a Kiwi !) also told me recently that for some words I was developing a NZ accent...
That's what I get from watching too many Hayley interviews! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Living so near to Canada, I find that many people around here say "eh" a lot. I've not succumbed to that particular speech pattern as of yet, but having been called to active duty for "Operation Desert Storm" and posted to the US Army's Personnel Command in Alexandria, VA, I came away after 10 months with "yall" as an integral part of my vocabulary so much so that I haven't been able to shake it 16 years later. Colloquialisms are fun. I once had a co-worker from England refer to me as being a bloke, which I found to be completely delightful. With further exposure at this forum, I'm sure to begin to use some expressions native to other parts of Winston Churchill's beloved English speaking world.
