Remember when

Beautiful song and video,couldn't resist to put this video and lyrics on blog,nothing more sweet then growing up with someone and to have someone to love you always.

..Remember when I was young and so were you
and time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet
was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are,
Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when

Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when .

British Accent

At websites or our Comp/Laptops while writing,or at social networking sites(writing social networking sites so that "young" people can take interest ,:d),while writing anything ,the words,spellings ,depend upon the language/dictionary selected for the site.

American spellings are now becoming more universal as Microsoft software defaults to American spellings and often does not recognise British spellings.though many British spellings are a product of history, influenced by Shakespeare,Chaucer.

Words ending in OUR have been changed to OR in America.for eg- Colour.

When we type ,it always depends upon the dictionary we are using,if its British or American.they show a red underline if spell it in other language then the selected one.As I studied English Literature,I found British English much proper while writing.so (though I m not that perfect in it,but jus will share part of  knowledge i have)will share who like to know about British accent,slangs ,or are too confused still with the some words..and diff between British and American English,though in India ,American English is used widely,and in most part of the world,as i guess its much easier and  convenient for people.

Many American spellings differ from English spellings, the original settlers to New England taught English Webster's spelling-rules which omitted 'U' in words ending in 'OUR' (eg: honor/honour & color/colour, etc)  and also promoted single consonants instead of double consonants in 2nd syllables, (eg: traveler/traveller, etc) 

                   

Some common words which are spelt differently in British English and American English

(American English spellings in bracket)

-our (-or): behaviour (behavior); colour (color)

-re (-er): centimetre (centimeter); centre (center)

-se (-ce): to practise (to practice)

-ll (-l): jewellery (jewelry); quarrelling (quarreling); traveller (traveler)

equalling [UK] = equaling [US]

: axe (ax); bank cheque (bank check); cosy (cozy)

American spellings are often used in the UK for computer terms, but not when used for other meanings. You run a computer program, but watch a television programme.

Ok i wont bore for too long with this , you should thank me for not explaining diphthongs,vowels etc here. and will get to the point of some slangs in British.,I totally love British accent,who doesn't i guess,off course except few Americans mocking British accent ,and not to forget girls who drool completely over British guys cz of their accent.,wont get into Scottish and Irish accent for now,love that too.

"aiyt" = alright.
"nay" - no.
"naat-mean" = you know what I mean

 sod - same as bugger, as in sod/bugger off,

Rasclat - An idiot

On the Razz - Go out and have a good time!

.. then their are words like  twat..wanker, bollocks.

minging( disgusting, nasty),.dodgy.

Fogey- an old person ,with old views

skank = slut 

slump = knock someone out

 i can go on..but thats all for now. .

Here are some more words as they use and pronounce -

Canny - Can not
 Wilny - Will not
His nae - Has not
A fur goat - I forgot.
Dug - dog
Bried - bread

In a more clear way the pronunciation in British English (American English in brackets)--

 Ballet: ball-ay (ba-llay): stress is on the first part in Britain, but on the second part in America

Clerk: clark (clurk): rhymes with 'park' in Britain, but rhymes with 'work' in America

Tomato: to-maa-tow (to-may-tow): 'ma' is like the 'ma' of 'mark' in Britain, but like the 'ma' of 'make' in America

Privacy: pri-va-see (pry-va-see): the 'i' is short in Britain (like the 'i' of 'image'), but long in America (like the 'i' of 'idea')

The vowel sounds in American English are often quite different from those in British English, especially the "o" and "a" sounds, and the "r" at the end of a word. There are of course many regional variations.

If u want more of British,Scottish or Irish Accent,watch movies like Leap Year, Truth about Love,Love actually,and u will totally fall in love with it,but please avoid Americans talking in fake British accent in some movies :P.
