    My partner says sir- vick-ull, with the emhasis on the sir. Half the time we can't understand each other. The other thing that's funny is that an ACE bandage in Canada is a tensor bandage. I had a heck of a time trying to get one for one of my clients here. And I say bum to refer to my rear-end, which makes everyone laugh.

    Finally, no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to say about like an American.
    Wahine, you don't have to say about like an american. So that's how we can tell where you're from
    My husband does a lot of correspondence with Lloyds of London. He showed me an email that he was writing; "Thank you for your advices" and he said it was CORRECT!!
