  • I am an anomaly. I was brought up by my mother, a British WWII war bride who married a Canadian soldier and moved to Canada with him. She would only let me speak the “Queen‘s English“. Oh, and I had to watch Jeopardy every single day for eight years.

    I was not even allowed to use contractions.

    The worst part was that she never taught me the rules that allowed me to speak very well, but I could not explain how I spoke very well. Got me in quite a bit of trouble when younger.

    I guess knowing tense and other stuff exists it saddens me that people are no longer as descriptive and personal as they used to be decades ago.
