In English English they are completely correct (although I was taught draw-ing not draw-ring). I do know what you mean re authors not meeting expectations though. It's horrible to watch interviews where they mawth and mumble when you only knew them from their wonderfully verbose creations.

The author is from Boston, which is a pretty far cry from an English accent. You guys say "jool-ry" or "jew-ELL-er-y" right? He's saying "jewler-ry," which to me ought to mean "as or like a jeweler."
Draw-ring though, that's so British as to be mockable here. Everyone knows Simon! (Sorry no embed, I couldn't find it anywhere on YouTube...) https://screen.yahoo.com/simon-littl...000000445.html |

There is a guy from The Armpit of Ohio who does his own jewelry store ads. He says it "jole-ree." Makes me insane.

The pre-made salad I just bought has an inordinate amount of carrot pieces.

Carrots are the Devil's favourite fruit.

Of all the vegetables, carrot is the most beloved.

Terry Gross of NPR fame and training said "greezy" for greasy today. It was like being punched in the head, I'm still a little shaken by it.

My Community Support Worker had to cancel today, because her car broke down.
This means I missed my free lunch in Leeds. The free lunch being my only meal as my benefits are suspended until I have a review meeting, which I missed last time because I was an in-patient in a mental health unit. And I have to find the money to make an appointment to see the Community Mental Health Nurse in a place NOT covered by my current bus pass on the 2nd of March. And the only facility to change/ decline this invite is by phone, which I can't use because I have no money to do so. Internet at the library is free. But I can't email them. And I can't currently get a free bus pass (although I may be entitled to one) because I'm not technically on benefits at present. Because I missed that appointment. Because I was in the nuthouse. Round and round and round.

Shit. The benefits system is utterly failing people with mental health issues.

I knew it I knew it I knew it!
Just found out that the previous administration has a new BF. Good for her. I knew she would drag her feet about the divorce until she was in a new relataionship, now it's full steam ahead. We have the papers from the lawyer, I think we just have to review and sign at this point. He is a funny looking dude. |
