What a nice, sensible sentence construction.... :)<br /><br />One amusing story was from our Dutch friends - who BTW speak wonderful English that I could never match with my pathetic 18 words of Dutch. But he was describing sending a postcard home from London and said he'd write "on the backside". He couldn't understand why hubby and I fell about laughing!Clare Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392142798976142547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-1375168337535466912012-02-27T09:50:09.642-08:002012-02-27T09:50:09.642-08:00So true.

When English is not a person's first language they often say "Today morning" instead of "This morning". And I can see why they do. We say, "Yesterday morning", so why not, "Today morning"?
