Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Leigh!

So, you OZ peeps use gotten, too? Just those English *FREAKS* who don't?

Nobody

Plei! (Dude, our names rhyme. I don't know why I find that so freaky.)

Just those English *FREAKS* who don't?

So they don't use it at all? That's what my OED says, and I suppose it should know, but the mind, it boggles.

I know! It's like when people say the don't like Wesley, and my brain goes all confuzzled!

(Hey! We do rhyme. How 'bout that?)

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Yes, Brits tend to say 'mobile'. Sometimes, it's just 'phone' (pronounced with a special empasis, so that you can tell it's spelt 'fone'). I, personally, despise the latter, and am pushing for the use of 'field telephonical', but it hasn't caught on yet.

I have never used 'gotten' in a sentance. (Until I wrote that one, if you don't count writing American characters-- even then, it's something that often doesn't go into until a beta's pointed out where it should be.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I seem to recall somewhere that 'gotten' is actually the older form, and while the British usage progressed and became more streamlined, American (and Austrailian usage, I suppose) retained the anachronism.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Which is what happened with "fall" too, IIRC.

edit: versus "autumn"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So maybe there's someone out there that's more familiar with the situation than I am.

Did one of the big webmasters in HP fandom *ban* one of the other BNFs from the site she owns? And thereby ban everyone else who tries to log on from the same school that BNF attends?

This is what comes of trying to stay away from Fandom Wank...

Dana, do you mean this and this?

No, you probably mean her, don't you?

Man, what a timesuck.

I do mean that last one. I just can't tell precisely how insane everyone there is.
