The site's built on WordPress (the forum plugin is Simple Press). There's no built-in spellchecker, but my browser has one. I meant I get messages from members of the public pointing out spelling mistakes that aren't there.
Oh! I'd say that is sad, but considering it's coming from the internet, it's the best you can hope for.

I love love love British English. When I curse in English, I try to use British bad words. Actually my English project next year is to learn to speak English with British accent. I know it will be hard but….

Perhaps we should start a dialect, phrases and spelling thread. I get occasional messages telling me articles have spelling mistakes in them, whereas it's just because I write in British English (or just English, to use the proper term – we invented it, after all). Favourite/favorite, programme/program and so on.
I hate it when I'm reading the online comments section of a website I frequent, and someone "corrects" a British speller. It drives me insane. I actually rather like the British spelling better.

Could you point these out to me please? I'm curious as to which words or phrases I may use that aren't widely known outside the UK.

No Problem
Losing the will to live, pot-shots, bore the life out of me, the penny will drop. There are more, but I just can't find them now

Maybe there are people of British decent near you, because I had never heard it before Joe said it

I've also heard people talk about losing the will to live and pot-shots, and while maybe not "bore the life out of me," I've deinitely heard the term "bored to death." I don't think those are exclusively British turns of phrase, either.

Perhaps. A lot of people moved here for work, but I don't think Phoenix is know for it's thriving British communities.

Oh that's funny. Thanks for letting me know. Occasionally I rewrite things because I think some people wouldn't get the meaning, but now I think I'll just go ahead and say it anyway.
I don't think 'Bores the life out of me' is really a common British phrase – it just happened to be the way I felt on that particular day. I occasionally hear 'Bores the pants off me'. Pants here are underpants, not trousers.

skye – I lived in Phoenix for only 14 years, but even I've heard of Sun City Wales. You need to get out more.
Speaking of British vernacular; for years I never understood the phrase used by the Black Knight in "The Holy Grail" when he said "Pull the other one". Then, when I finally looked it up, the exchange made more sense – and was funnier.

We derailed a thread without actually derailing it. Even our off-topic conversation is on-topic.

When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood.
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh
By cool, does he mean cold or fab?

A Hard Day's Night: ".. So why do I bitch or I moan.. 'cause when I get you alone.. "
I know it doesn't rhym it's just what I've always heard!
I Want To Tell You: "When I get near you.. the kids begin to drag me down.."
I blame this on one of The Beatles cartoon episodes, where george is surrounded by children during practice

Hi guys, has anyone of you too has thought that perhaps

Story about a place called Pepperland, a nice peace loving place which is then destroyed by the March of the Meanies, until it is laid Waste..
The whole music arrangement always sems to say this to me…
Edit : I think i posted this in the wrong thread, my apologies, but can anyone answer this!

I always thought he meant she was aloof which, I guess, could have been a mixture of cold and fab. Thoughts?

I never really thought of it that way, but it is an interesting idea. I enjoy classical music, so I do have an appreciation for what
was able to pull off on this album. I will have to listen more closely to hear what you are hearing.
Thanks – I appreciate the opportunuity to enjoy those arrangements more than I already do!
EDIT: – Once you have been in this forum for a while, you may discover there is no such thing as the wrong thread! Personally, I stopped apologizing months ago.
