Which English would you like? English English or American English? I guess
it's 'bad form' to write in 'English English' if you're going to read it
in America since that's another language.
All my stories have Japanese in them somewhere. If you don't like it, you
can lump it. I'm not going to stop writing some stuff in Japanese and I am
not going to write in American just to make it 'good form' for you, either.
So... Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedah! :p
You don't write in English-English either, do you?  I mean, do you guys down
there actually *speak* English-English? <g>

I do... I have an English dictionary... I have British parents... I don't
write stuff like 'g'day' (which NO-ONE from where I come from says, anyway!)
And I don't have a 'proper' Australian accent... Blame my mum's Scottish
accent or something... :p

(one of my favorite TV commercials of the past year was for Foster's Lager.
It showed a surfer, then a shark swimming, then the surfer again, and a
voice with a very distinct Australian accent says "Lunch".  Then it cuts to
a very large can of Foster's, and the voice says "Beer" ;)

Heh... pity they're only shown on tv on those comercial tv shows...

Kun-chan...
