Mainly just curious to see how many non-US people we have. I know some languages have more than one word for owl.

Where are you from, and how do you say owl where you are from, and what sound do they make?

    I just want people to specify which “English” people are referencing it when it’s a language related subject. I’m sure there is a ton of confusion when we gets Brits, Americans, Australians, Nigerians, and whoever else speaks this language natively.

    My Irish coworker just told me about “pass the parcel” today, and while those words all make sense to me, I would probably never have worked out the meaniy that someone from UK would immediately understand.

    I have now become a fan of the Twit Twoo, and I take back my original scoffing.

      Yeah, this comic should probably have labels by nation, not by language.

        Nothing! We have no such thing. The first thing I thought of was musical chairs mixed with a White Elephant gift exchange.

        I see why you kicked the Puritans out, they really stripped the fun from everything!
