[WWI] Speaking of Language...

[Crawford Neil]

There is a problem at a local school where the English teacher, who is French, marks down the Brit kids on their English spelling (colour/color for example) and phraseology (standard/regular).  She learned her English in the US and will not believe there is a difference!

I had the same experience in Sweden, even worse was our German lessons where my English accent German
stood out like a sore thumb. Teacher didn't notice the other kids who made the same mistakes as she did!
