- Actual conversation that took place in my office:
-
- C. {returning from vacation}: I never realized
- how different the English they speak over
- in England is from what we speak here. It
- was hard even to go grocery shopping --
- they have a differnet word for everything.
-
- Me: Like what, for example?
-
- C. Well, for instance, their word for eggplant
- is <something>.
-
- Me: You couldn't just _tell_ it was an eggplant?
-
-
- This was the technical lead for our project talking.
