Places like the USA or Europe are not exactly "close by" to South Africa either and yes, it's rather expensive to travel "overseas". Yet I have a passport and know how to use it. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

The US is more multicultural than all of Europe combined... in fact Brooklyn is more multicultural than all of Europe. I had a passport all my adult life but two years ago decided not to renew, I have no desire to visit a bunch of flag wavers. |

It was originally named "alumium" by Davys, then he later changed it to aluminum. That's the spelling and pronounciation that became established in the US and Canada. Still later, the British changed it again to aluminium to make it more conforming to other names of metals. Brian -- Day 594 of the "no grouchy usenet posts" project. |

Well, if the "British" you speak of founded the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (nowadays known as IUPAC), I guess you'd be correct. However, if you think the aluminum spelling/pronunciation is more logical, maybe all the countries on this fine planet should switch to spelling sodium as "sodinum" and potassium as "potassinum" and magnesium as "magnesinum"? Might make it a lot more, shall we say, conforming - wouldn't you agree? -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

No. I'm discussing British English vs American English. > When has English ever been very consistent? > I'm not denying that English is a difficult language to learn to spell (and often pronounce) if it's not one's "home language" However, the fact that words such as "neighbour" and "labour" are spelled as "neighbor" and "labor" in American English doesn't improve matters much, IMO. I enjoy eating doughnuts and a lot of Americans enjoy eating doughnuts too - but some Americans prefer eating "donuts". Surely it wouldn't do any harm to standardise/standardize the spelling of the aforementioned words? -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

I hate being handed a huge portion of anything, particularly something I don't like, and being expected to eat it with comments like, "Well, I never heard of anyone who didn't like green bean okra gorgonzola salad." "Now, don't waste this." (I'm not, I'm just going to chuck it the first time no one is looking.) I'm surely not going to overeat so the food doesn't go into the leftover cycle. Or at the end, turn it in and say, "I'm allergic to *****, or I could never eat a portion that large." Sometimes they get the message, and sometimes not. I like to choose what I eat, and how much I serve myself, as I best know how much I can eat, and what I like. Sometimes I can catch it ahead of time, and just say no, or "Could I have about 1/10 that much? This isn't your Mother's Army. Just because someone slams it on my platter, I DO NOT have to eat it.

As for passports, they are an expense to get and keep up - for a lot of us, for no reason at all, other than some cache that might be attached to having one....a driver's license works just as well for identification. I had a passport when I was married and we traveled regularly; but there's no point for me to have one now, just to have one. Most people don't just decide on a whim to suddenly take a foreign trip, at least people I know and know of. N. |

Ah, "District 9"... BTW, are you any relation to the "Julian Clarke" who edited that piece of crap, um, I mean SF masterpiece? > >> Of course the fact that many citizens in the USA also think that >> civilization stops at the USA's borders and therefore have never >> bothered to apply for a passport goes quite a way towards explaining >> that attitude. > > Uh, why does a lack of desire to spend 110 dollars on a piece of paper > that is likely to expire before one uses it indicative of a belief > that "civilization stops at the USA's borders"? 110 *US* dollars? Heh. The cost of getting a passport in South Africa is the equivalent of USD27.00 - and it's valid for 10 years from date of issue. So I'd say you're either getting ripped off or exaggerating somewhat. > Remember that until recently no passport was needed for Canada or > Mexico, Might be applicable if I lived in the USA, but I don't. > and anywhere else one goes, if one is going to get discounted > fares one must book far enough in advance that there's plenty of time > to get a passport. If you say so. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |
