Hinomaru:

OK Guys, Thank You for the warm welcome, it's very much appreciated!  ;D  I'll admit to being weak on British terminology and spelling, but I think I can catch on. Don't let my "Hinomaru" screen name fool you as my real name is John. I picked Hinomaru because it means the national flag of Japan. See the link below for more information:

John.

I wrote a FAQ on .net called "Divided by a Common Language" (or something like that), but it appears to have gone  ???

 It was a celebration of linguistic differences...

Whilst travelling in the USA I quickly learned that asking someone if they "would like a fag" was not the same thing as it is over here.

Found it!

Moved around during archiving...
