Anglo / American / Australian Translator.
As there have been problems on this forum due to America, Australia and Britain being three countries separated by a common language.
I have started this thread as a place where members can post problem words and terms for the explanation thereof by their author.

Re: Anglo / American Translator.
Er, Adam, your reference to length, is that in time or linear measurement?

Re: Anglo / American Translator.
Anyone know 'dreckly' meaning shortly; in awhile etc?
I came across it in a book and remembered that I hadn't heard it for years, was common long ago, (in my childhood).

Re: Anglo / American Translator.
Eoin,
I'm referring to both mate, at least at this time of life. ;
Dreckly, is that not a variant of directly, "I'll be there dreckly (directly)"

Re: Anglo / American Translator.
Thanks for putting Australia up there, perhaps we do have a language of our own...maybe 'Educated Pom'?
Anyway locally (at least in NSW) there are appearing exhortatory signs telling one not to be a "Tosser", not to throw away rubbish but to put it in the bin.
I seem to remember another meaning to "tosser" ??<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek">;
