User talk:Abney

Hello,

I've mainly been working with
 * commas (English and German)
 * ("Y'all come back now, ya hear" List of American words not widely used in the United Kingdom
 * ("Können Sie mir erzählen, was dieser Satz bedeutet?" Low Germanic languages)
 * tweaking grammar
 * ("Tire is the older" vs. "oldest" American and British English spelling differences)
 * ("keine niederdeutschen Sprachen" Low Germanic languages)

Beyond that, I have made a small addition that American English does, indeed, use both spellings ("draft" and "draught") for, say, "draft beer," which can incidentally also be called "beer on tap." I don't really drink, but I'm interested in language. American and British English spelling differences

Source(MLA format):

"Draft." Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language. 2nd ed. 1986.

Thanks for your patience as I join the Wikipedia community. I'll attempt to clean up the appearance of this page as time goes on.

Perhaps after I organize this page a bit more, but thanks for letting me know that I could have a user page. Abney 05:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)


 * You can link to internal pages using the article's title and double-brackets, so for Low Germanic Languages it'd be Low Germanic languages . You just have to be careful with the cases. :) Mak (talk)  05:12, 18 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Helpful information. Different from the wiki work I do elsewhere.  Thanks. Abney 05:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
