The topic 'it's holiday' reminds me of my first time off request when I was fairly newt o the US. The paper asked for 'reason to take time off', I wrote 'holiday'. My supervisor crossed it out and wrote 'vacation'. In the US 'holiday' = 'bank holiday', in the UK 'holiday' = 'vacation'. I learned British English in Germany and was not used to these fine nuances.
Tell us about yourself: Had a GSD, am getting a DS puppy in a few weeks. Compete in agility, obedience, and cross train in tons of stuff. Found out about this site from the DS Rescue yahoo list.

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind. Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32. Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

We learn Oxford English too, here in Holland.
LOL, sometimes when I hear myself speak english I notice that when I speak to someone from the States I use American words and when I speak to someone from the UK I use british words like the ones I learned.
Meg ( megan bays) learns me southern slang
When I visit with one of my Uncles he becomes frustrated because I speak "American English" instead of "Oxford English."
I think the influx of so many non-English words into the American language would throw him the most! Didn't help that he is re-married to a wonderful woman from Suriname and her "english" is even a great mix.
