Until and Unless

it's not that the grammar is taught incorrectly there... I remember learning to use first form of the verb when 'did' is used in a question or a sentence... it's just people forget...

same goes for the use of article "a/an"

What are your views on breastfeeding in public?

^-- and it should be English not english :p

So I tell my son that we use until and unless because we are FOBs , and there is such thing in the world as FOBI version of English called FOBlish ?

All his tiny life I have been telling him that FOBs speak British English which is superior to US English. Now I have to take that stance back. I do not feel like doing that , give me some other logical answer people, this answer is not going to fly . You know my kids are smarter than that.:snooty:

:cb:

Tell the kids, they need to wait ‘until and unless’ you know the right answer :smiley:

so pointing out my typo makes up for your flight of fantasy that ppl from pakistan speak queens english. I am the king of typos on GS i have no time for spellings or punctuations baccha.

yaar ATA, dekho, I am a brit, I live in USA and I lived in pakistan so it allows me a rather unique perspective n this case. While I agree that there are some words that are used in UK and not in US, however there is more to the difference than those words, some phrases and pronunciations like schedule for example.

Its not as if fresh arrivals from pakistan to UK go mainstream right away because they speak the same lingo. and its NOT about the accent I am going on about

sarkaar, u have to tell teh truth.

27

true, but when caught, I have heard several times oh but this is british english..
there are also slangs in use there which are nto british slangs and there are slangs used that are not in use any more.

its like someone from korea showing up speaking 60's slangs...cool daddy-o groovy..

28

Actually its both, accent and lingo plus the vocabulary, on top is education! ... we were talking about those who actually are educated, but I know many FOBs came through riding on the fish and landed in USA and started tAAlking ingleesh, yes there we have a thin line to differentiate ...
well it is anyhow an excuse I admit!

to make an error and to be wrong are two diff things :snooty:

Re: Until and Unless

only if it were true. when a person knows that the correct word is nothing but says nuthin or nuffin, its one thing but someone saying I didnt knew that and insisting they were right is a diff issue.
