Do you want to come to my place to get drunk and watch horse racing?

Those are two of my favorite things to do.

Sure thing pal. I'll just play with the pugs (still have those?) while you watch your horses.

I credit Matty Rain for improving my English

I was doing good for a few years, but now I feel I'm devolving

I was recently paid good money to translate stuff into English. (One usually translates into their mother tongue.) Literary type stuff.

Holy shit this is a vintage thread. Pre-Toronto days.

Fiver and I finally went to the track like last year. Good times.

Thank you Muddy. To be fair, I did spend the better part of the last decade working as an English-to-French translator, so I got exposed to a shitload of corporate and technical English. But as far as expressing myself in the language of Don Cherry, it's still very new to me.

Speaking of which, I have yet to decide if I'm going to join Team About or Team Aboot. I will consider rational arguments from both sides.

I be fonny. 😅

Which one you chose?

 

[Matty]

I can't say "aboot" or "aboat" with a straight face. My English teachers in school (none of whom were native English speakers) used a pretty neutral NY-newscaster accent.
