ITbomb: When pronouncing 'anti-clockwise' Semai Authomatic - Instead of Semii. I like the way Americans created their own style. At least even if we know Brits are the Origins of english, there's no dictonary that you will get that won't identify how each word is used in eaither Ame/Brt. Which is recognized anywhere in the world. I just wish we did ours too like that. 12 Likes |
