Every time I visit the UK I am surprised by the way the English language
is changing. "You did good" sets my teeth on edge, but seems to be
common parlance. If you mistakenly say "with whom" instead of "who
with" people look at you as if you have justed landed from Mars!


Tut tut! Everone knows it should be, "You dun good".

Anyone living overseas who watches BBC World and Sky News cannot fail to
have noticed the large proportion of Scottish news readers and
interviewers. Are they the last people left who can speak proper
English ? :-))


I regret to inform people that I've lived in Scotland for 30+ years. So
your hopes may be dashed. Alternatively, all the Aberdonians may have
migrated south.
