to: C Kahn from: truedog Colleen, your post brings to mind an old saying that might be considered frivolous in the midst of this most serious exchange. Since most of our European posters,friend and foe alike, seem to have learned their English, an accomplishment I admire, from an English source the same problem exists with them as people from Britain itself. It was said that the Americans and the British are the only two people separated by a common language...TD

Of course I would say so. I am totally in line with what you said about respect anyway. However, as Charles tells us, there seems to be a way to read Gustave as rather pro-American and anti-Euro. This would agree with what I have read from Gustave before introducing him to you. It is not that that alone should heal all your mutual difficulties. But it may be that I wasn't too wrong about some of the special passages you criticised. BTW (truedog is right, for me, that I learned British English at school; and met more British than Americans): what does it mean in American English if somebody is 'pssd off' ? Is it 'angry' ? or 'has run away' ? 'on dope' ? or ... what ? Regards MNI.
