and NIK .. who invented English ?? if schedule was supposed to have a k in it we would have added one OK, but then why did you put one in school? My mother was born, raised and died an Englishwoman (from Middleton, near Manchester). She married a GI after the war and came to the States in 52. My mother and I used to tease each other about the pronunciation and spelling of various words such as bat-ter-ry versus bat-try, tomato versus tomahto, potato versus potatoe and so on. When I was young, she taught me all the popular British songs from WWII like "White Cliffs of Dover," "There'll always be an England, " and "Bless 'em all." Unfortunately, she died 3 years ago, still an English citizen. Chez
