I'm the one who mentioned the pronunciation of Renault, and it seems I've been misled lol. The only people I've ever heard say Renult were the ex and his father, every single other person has pronounced it Reno. I'm from Leeds and have lived in Lincoln for 13 years and always heard it as Reno. Just assumed everyone else pronounced it that way, but I stand correctly. (Also, my comment was made tongue in cheek and not meant to be pretentious (sp?)

That is nice to know. I can't abide bad posture.

No, it isn't the done thing or a local variation, it's just uneducated as this goes beyond a minor dialect variation (such as using 'youse' for a plural you, which is common in parts of the south east), it's simply a failure to understand the difference between the two words.

I've never heard of that south (or north) of Scouseland.

3.5C is practically sub-tropical here! my dad used to have a shop in the broch and all the time i spent working there the language went right over my heed!

An American once told me that when they say "I could care less" where we would say "I couldn't care less", there is an implied/understood "As if" before the "I", so that what they are saying is "As if I could care less", which would make more sense.

So why don't they just say that? Then we'd all know what they are talking about.

'Train station' sounds similarly infantile to me.

I'm a tad bewildered here.

How else would an adult refer to a location where a train stops to pick up passengers?

Led


I was led on the bed. No you wasn't you big 'tard, you lay on the bed.

I had a girlfriend once who used to say that. She was wrong.

She was laid on the bed .
