Today's the big day: our daughter is flying to CA!

RP stands for "Received Pronunciation". It means what most people call "Oxford English", "BBC English", etc.

Alan will now complain that all of these terms are archaic, inappropriate, misleading, not adequately descriptive, not in step with what's happnin' now, bla bla bla, but people outside of Alan's head know what they mean.

Hi Torsten

I hope you're planning to keep us up-to-date about your daughter's experiences and, of course, any changes or development in her English. I'm really looking forward to hearing about everything.

Hey, Torsten! You haven't been updating us. How is your daughter doing? Was she able to get home for the holidays?

Torsten, where are you? In the US or the UK?

Have you ever planned to come to Singapore for a holiday?
