Canute Posted June 1, 2018 Share #248 Posted June 1, 2018 Well, we do have several flavors of English going here Carl (Mother tongue, US, OZ and the rest of yuns). I give the non-native English speakers a ton of credit for following the mish-mash of idioms. So we can really get sideways if we throw in a little French, German, Dutch or whatever. Yak away. Oh and find a helmet in case the incoming gets any worse. I like both your approaches, but am really interested in what Denis brews up for us rabble in his portion of the build. Build on.

lmagna Posted June 1, 2018 Share #255 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Yes it is amazing that with all the native languages represented here on the forum in general that more stuff is not misunderstood! My native tong is American English and even I don't understand it much of the time. 2 hours ago, cog said: If you come down Lou, you can get a tot of whatever you fancy Now you tell me!! 1 hour ago, Jack12477 said: I have a very large bag of roasted peanuts in the shells. You have had peanuts all this time??? I LOVE peanuts!!! I can't wait for the third third interpretation of this ship either. It almost sounds like Denis is going to go for a post 1940s converted escort version. You guys could have had twenty people building the ship and all of them could have chosen a different time and look. The same thing happened to the WWI US 310' Four Stacker destroyers when they were taken out of mothballs for WWII.

RGL Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share #257 Posted June 1, 2018 Morning from Oz. Too early for rum (though it is mother’s milk), I was once asked by a chap from Africa why Aussies only speak one language, I told him because we and the kiwis are the only ones down here.
