I love that we speak the same language but there's still so many little differences!

Baltic is brilliant!!!

Me too Ekua it is so fun to find out new ones

you guys on shows often say I recon for like when you mean I think so and that is such old English for us. In history writings Americans use that but not for a very very long time so when I hear it on TV (interviews or those look up your ancestor shows etc) it always surprises me.

Yes, I love the differences in language - Canadian French is not France French, Swiss German is different from Germany German etc..

I like 'brilliant' - 'baltic' is a good one for freezing, too! You're right PodMom reckon is from cowboy days/country talk but people in UK use that.

Reckon is definitely not popular in Scotland though....I don't know anyone who really says that. It is very popular in Australia and New Zealand though

Maybe in England is is... I don't go to England much at all!
