If I may say, you're very f...Dear Dr. Manning,<br /><br />If I may say, you're very funny and I'd like to comment on your comment about pronunciation when it comes to England vs. North America. I was born and raised in Canada and my dad is originally from England (Truro, Cornwall). Although, he's long since lost his British accent, I am somewhat familiar with British pronunciation, as my dad does still on occasion pronounce words or use sayings that are distinctly British and I sometimes chuckle at him. I think that the English language, be it UK or North American is slowly fading away. This makes me sad as English is my favourite subject. I say this because in my opinion, with today's presence of the internet, cell (mobile) phones and the short forming of words ie. LOL. Anyway, I agree with you, is all.<br /><br />As for diaries, yes, in North America a diary is considered sacred, but we (allover the world) have this new(ish) thing called, "blogging", which is essentially the same thing, as you know. It does seem a little odd or ironic that one might not want to share one's diary with someone, but will post it on one's blog. I completely agree with you and I hope that you will continue to share your "diary" with us. Thank you again, Dr. Manning.<br /><br />P.S. Sorry, seems I wrote a novel.nahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168079586227681401noreply@blogger.com
