The English Thread

[AnonymBruker]

It's been a long time since I last wrote English, so I wanted to make a thread to start using the language again. I hope this will be an active thread. Be nice!

[AnonymBruker]

It's always nice to practice yout language skills. Good luck? Someting special you want to discuss?

[AnonymBruker]

Not really, I just want this thread to be a chat-thread. Maybe I should have put this in "Snikk-snakk"?

[AnonymBruker]

It's probably gonna be moved anyway.

Practice = noun = My GP's practice is in Temple Street

Practise = verb = to perform an action repeatedly in order to improve skill level i.a.

"gonna" = informal abbreviation usually used in spoken language only

going to be = the only correct way to express the same in writing

You could get a pen pal and practise your English.

No, the thread's spell checker. The apostrophe signals property instead of plurality.

What is your favourite word within the English language, everyone?

For some reason I really like the word "lush". I have no idea why, maybe because my ex used it all the time, and it sounded so cute with his accent

I don't really have a favorite word.

Which dialect does people here prefer? I think the Australian one is pretty cool.
