Just a few more reasons why I love the English language (in an ‘I love you because you are funny, weird and mildly entertaining’ way) pointed out.
Eddie Izzard is fast becoming one of my favourite stand-up comedians. His brand of comedy always seems to hit the spot – and not just because he is a cross-dresser.
Having moved from the United States from Australia (which favours the UK English style), I have encountered quite a few of the things he is talking about. I have had to teach myself to say ‘herb’ correctly, ‘basil’ correctly…
Of course, there is the whole Strine part of speaking down under, but I won’t get into that…
