 .....and what's new this tuesday morning, dazzlenation?...something around prince andrew and that late 60s blackheath code - for ill cult doctors, giving you the 'heebie jeebies'.....mark r had his own 'twist' upon the whole thing, in relation to programming objects....remember the difference between british and american pronunication of the word 'herb'?....'erb'....a bit like speaking french, perhaps?....because all i could hear, so many years ago now and in relation to tarragon....was "urb"....urb?....urban...urbanisation....urbane....lol...for a second, i had conjured up the very middle-class allison stonier and her suburban/urban herb collection and was wondering where i had gone wrong...more laughter...mark r kept saying "urb - it's an URB" until i 'got' it..."herb"....."urb"...."herb"..."urb"...well, let's agree to differ then etc etc...."i never agree to differ" he was to tell me....but after that, we began to get on very well, indeed...he decided to help me out by making a tape all about the differences between american and british pronunciation....and my EFL classes all loved it....go figure:
