    I’m sure you must specialize in the English language.

    Something seriously wrong with a nation that serves its coffee in pints and beer in small glasses

    Most irritating one for me:

    Are.

    And remember there’s a u in colour and programme doesn’t end at the first m.

    It’s a holiday not a vacation.

    It’s a pavement (a corsey rarnd ere) not a sidewalk.

    A tap not a faucet.

    A biscuit not a cookie.

    A car bumper not a fender. A Fender is a Stratocaster or a Telecaster.

    And when Septics say “Excuse me” when they’re unsure about something, how tempting is it to say “Why? What have you done?”

    Both are grammatically correct but ‘is’ is American styling
