Have you heard?

Hi,

Have you heard the latest news? It has been reported this very day that the contributor, who has a string of other aliases, currently known as Cat on the Keyboard has decided to apply for British Citizenship. This may come as a great surprise to her many fans but she has realised now that the time has come to renounce American English (up till now her favourite dialect) and return to her roots that lie deep in the heart of the UK. There is naturally much rejoicing in the British English camp because of this sudden volte-face. With the return of the prodigal no doubt the fatted calf will be roasted in her honour.

This report comes through courtesy of the news agency Poisson d'Avril.

Well, well, well! You could have knocked me down with a feather! Laughing

The same source has reported that one of the active members of this forum, who has stood as a beacon of hope to the non-native speakers, has finally accepted that the native speakers are better at their language than the non-native speakers, and the standards laid down by them should indeed by followed.

I've checked the source as well, and it seems more likely that a fillet of plaice, capelin or simply a poor cod will be roasted.

Merci pour faire part de nouvelles en forme de poisson.

Wow, Alan. I didn't know you can be very naughty. If you're a kindergartner, I'd say you like her.

Like, like her, like her. Laughing
