Wow, that's great! Thanks!
I found a few websites devoted to the subject:
http://www.effingpot.com/
Good detailed guide to British words.
http://www.uta.fi/FAST/US1/REF/usgbdiff.html
Way less exhaustive, but easier to navigate.
Also translates American to British.
(Didn't know 'pardon me' is only used after bodily functions....so much for the TV commercial with a snobby British person asking someone in the next car, 'Pardon me. Would you have any Grey Poupon?' (mustard)

yup on your bike usually used in context I don't believe you go away type thing. Pull the other one it's got bells on is similar.
Pardon me could be used for excuse me but very archaic and Wodehousian type English. Never heard it used in earnest and as we know it's very important to be Ernest (grin)

Yayy, good luck everyone!
I didn't apply, mainly because applying on actual real paper is far to difficult, but also because I haven't worked on GH at all since C-box challenge...
There's nothing we observers can do for you, is there? No voting or anything, right?

um, by the way that WAS a false alarm... so no one get yr hopes up. But no, I don't think there's voting or anything... I think we just wait around for 3 months and hope something happens.

What the f*ck is going on? My puter has crashed several times and I have not been online for awhile and when I finially do get online I get this email from Chris. Anyone mind telling me what in the F*ck I did wrong to deserve this email?BTW since my puter crashed I no longer have my password or username for my webhost and I think that the prof can understand when I say that it is very hard to get a response from web host providers. So I can not do anything until I get a answer from them. Anyway his email to me is as follows:
This is Chris Cowart. You seem to be ignoring my e-mails but I see you responded to this one. I am going to assume you never got them for the sake of peace but you better listen and respond to this. I've asked you nicely to remove my name and address off your site. The contest is over and it is no longer needed. It was a bad idea from me to allow my personal address to become publically available.
I expect this to be done IMMEDIATELY. If not I will be contacting you again. You no longer have my permission and you are now violating my privacy and that of my family which I take very seriously.
