It's all about accents too. I am married to an American and when he says 'pen' it always sounds like 'pin' to me. To an American 'Tippex' sounds like 'Tampax' apparently, from prior experience. So, in a nutshell, don't get yourself all fired up over words...if you are that stressed by small issues like that you're heading for a heart attack. ![]() ![]() |

I've never heard of Tippex before.. maybe the person(s) misheard you and thought it'd be funny to ask if you said Tampax.. |

Boot = trunk. Lift = elevator. Pavement = sidewalk. You see the differences in nuances but they mean the same thing but I wouldn't be ignorant enough to call any of your differences in language stupid. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
