My exposure to BSE came at an early age. Many relatives encouraged my passions for aviation and motorsport with books. Most of those books were printed in the UK and a grew up assuming that the spellings and grammar used in those books were in universal use. Added to this is the fact that I have been an anglophile since childhood.

Same here. I’ve caught myself saying maths a few times.

Sure, but it's a dangerous language unless you know what you're doing. Don't try this anywhere near Cripple Creek.

Me, too!

I often describe things I don’t like as “rubbish.”

Top Gear UK is my favorite TV show.

LOL

Same here.

Just be careful you don’t start driving on the left side of the road!
