One of my favourite crazy plays…have a great time.
Supertradmum, don’t let the English corrupt your English. ;-) No favourites among favorites.
That’s alright, Supertradmum, I have fallen into the same habit after living in the Bahamas for 8 years. I am retraining myself to write honour, habour, and Saviour in the American fashion.
I was wondering what the inside of the Globe looks like.
Sorry it is the default on my computer.
Shakespeare in the Old Globe….. So now, Fr. Z is an occasion for the sin of envy. Shame on you, Pater….ps ENJOY.
How amazingly cool, Fr. Z!
Yes, it was amazingly cool. And I am glad I could provoke even the slightest envy in the Canonical Defender, who provokes my envy of his erudition.
The -or ending has a lot to recommend it, being closer to the Latin. ‘Center’ and ‘maneuver’ as opposed to ‘centre’ and ‘manoeuvre’ also make sense; we’re not French after all. I would stick with ‘kerb’ and ‘tyre’ for reasons of differentiation. I also prefer ‘skilful’ and ‘sceptical’ but it’s only force of habit.
Fr. Z. I’m so glad you’re having a well deserved, wonderful time.
In the forest of (the catholic) Arden’s……
I always wonder
Been there! But I saw “Macbeth” in ‘modern’ clothes and didn’t like it.
As a matter of fact “As you like it” was my first bit of Shakespeare at school but we then moved on to Macbeth and I can still quote chunks of that to this day.
Father –
Shakespeare is all very well, but in the interest of high culture I hope you remembered to catch Doctor Who on Saturday! :-)
One of my bigger regrets from the time I lived in London is that I never managed to go see a play at the Globe. I lived in Southwark on Great Dover Street. Fifteen minute walk, tops. I don’t remember why I didn’t go. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself!
It makes me happy to see you are having a great time there! Enjoy.
@John Nolan, Steady, old chap: pull yourself together. I remember the first time I saw “Kerb you dog” in New York and spent hours trying to work it out. As for “skeptical,” you might as well remove your tie permanently and stop dressing for dinner.
Nothing wrong with French derivatives: at least half of the language comes from French, not the imaginings of Mr Webster.
See you at our next Mass in Nottm on 7th Oct?
@ acardnal and @ Sissy how could you possibly want to write favourite, honour, harbour, and the like, in any other way than proper English. Imagine if every country in the world developed their own version of English, instead of just keeping to the English they received from the English. Pretty daft if you ask me! But that’s just me and its my pet hate. American English is just bastard English… I will now retreat into my bunker to await the shelling…LOL
Have a great week.
marknelza, on the other hand, for the sake of the environment and efficiency, dropping those superfluous letters the English use for American style English will save on ink, paper and time.
Greater efficiency. ;-)

Couldst save more wi’ theethouing n contractions as per eg Dales, wouldst quicken flow ‘f t’pen, think on, spend tha savings on Tetley’s.
marknelza asked: “Imagine if every country in the world developed their own version of English, instead of just keeping to the English they received from the English”.
Yes, marknelza, I see your point. So, I have a question for you. How could you English possibly want to speak anything other than French, seeing as how the Normans took over your country and all? Or maybe you didn’t want to stick with the German of the previous invaders?
Real English looks like ?adi? bið se wer þe ne g?ð on ?eþeaht unrihtw?sra. Anything else is polluted bastard. :)
Oh phoey. Darn keyboard format. :)
acardnal & Sissy
*Pops head out of bunker to say* By the way I’m South African. Not British, but we do prefer our English English, not that…. what do you call that language again? *Dives back into the bunker*
