Apr. 10th, 2008 05:33 pmI do not post enough. Someone I care about told me this, and it's true. I fear I'm falling off the LJ radar, becoming an ex-parrot. So here I am, trying to compensate.
Someone pointed out this coolio website for researching the British form of English.
The British National Corpus (BNC) is a 100 million word collection of samples of written and spoken language from a wide range of sources, designed to represent a wide cross-section of current British English, both spoken and written.
I, ah, looked up the word 'wank'. What? It's the first Britword I could think of. And these were a few of the examples it returned:
( You mean, are you implying that I'm wank? )
