Goodness gracious, there's *another* one?! I already knew about UK English (either the Queen's or King's depending on who's on the throne), US/American English, and Australian (although that may be another tongue altogether).

Now there's Queens English, too? Is this strange dialect spoken only in the Queens borough of New York City?

(Where's the "smiley" for 'duck and cover'?)

I think it's here:

Like I said, there is only one TRUE english, and that's the QUEENS ENGLISH (or as you rightly point out, Kings.....Depending upon who's upon the throne at the time:) ) All the other "English's" are merely hybrid offspring that have mutated over the years after our glorious empire tootled off around the globe in wooden boats, "discovering" other peoples countries:) and insisting that the natives spoke "proper":D :stir:

I think he meant the missing apostrophe and implying it should eb the Queen's English not the Queens English.

But apostrophe are an engangered species. how often do you see the sign
Menswear and Ladieswear in department stores?

Charlie,

Thanks for the answers about the corduroy kilts, sounds like I'm going to have to try one for myself. Mind you looking at my bank balance right now I might have to wait for the next sale... Be sure to let us all know if you spot one starting.

Have fun,

Ian.

I think that has to be gender discrimination; it's not only men who swear on occasions.

Have fun,

Ian.

Actually, apostrophe's are alive and well, albeit for all the wrong reasons. (Drat, I wish I could find my copy of "Eats, Shoots and Leaves"!)

Good grief! I can't believe I made such a gaff in the englishness of my english!!! My old english teacher would have a fit if she saw those mistakes....Oh well, apostrophes inserted!:)

Ian, contact Union Kilts directly; I spoke with them recently, and there was mention in conversation of possible price reductions / changes coming up due to the situation with the £ v $. Also, get registered on their homepage before the end of this month, and they'll email you a discount e-voucher....It all helps!:)

Thanks Wintermute,

I have registered already and if I think about it long enough I might even remember the password I used

I think I will call them as you suggest but not until I have enough "surplus" pennies to make a purchase.

Have fun,

Ian.

The huge boots really stand out, taking away from the kilt even but it must work for Unionkilt or they wouldn't advertise that way. I think it may be used to make their brand memorable (the way the welder photo is for Utilikilts) and they probably do have a segment of buyers drawn by the look. The idea of looking manly by the size of the boots did go through my head but their audience dressing like that meets women dressed the same so I don't think the association of big boots=big man was their aim.

Utilikilt or Unionkilt

Is it English, or is it ... ?

Apostrophe

I'll take that apostrophe and raise you a semi-colon.
