I do it both ways. Depends on my mood.

 

 

 

Ditto. Until I read the post about this I didn't realise this was one more 'Americanism".

There I've had a been even handed with the use of ' and " 😄

It was actually something I only learned a couple of days ago, and I've caught myself using the 'wrong' kind multiple times since then!

I'm sure this has already been said - and possibly by me but....

A#sH0*e drivers who either speed up to or don't give a single inch to let you in. Or those who park across in front of you when you are trying to exit a driveway.

There is NO NEED for this... most other countries I have driven in have such better road manners than us.

I had a very traditional English education and gained A grades in O and A Level English.

I was always taught to use " these " not 'these'.

The Times is usually a reasonable arbiter of correct English and they use "these".

Ah! Thanks for pointing that out, it gives me another reason to look into subscribing.

What do you mean by 'correct' English?

I understand your 'passion' for all things of Mother England, but no individual, organisation or nation - even dear 'Old Blighty' - has a monopoly on determining 'correct' English on behalf of the wider world.

I find it so bizarre that people treat language as static and immutable, and that they believe the 'version' they subscribe to as somehow the 'true' version. Sounds like a dogma or religion. Especially ironic in regards to English, given what a mongrel of a language it is...

Billy Connelly does a great section when he is in NZ about how great we are as a people, but how we are the worst drivers in the world. I'd believe it, though a recent drive through Los Angeles/Santa Barbara has me questioning that.
