The little differences

You know what the funniest thing about the English language is? It's the little differences. I mean they got the same words over here that they got there, it's just here it's a little different.

Examples:

-Say you break your arm. You go to hospital. Not "a" hospital or "the" hospital, just hospital.
-Curious about what's going on in sport? Read the Sport page. I'm curious about was happened to that last 's.' ***We'll have a whole entry on the world of sport soon***
-For a country with the letter 'Z' in its very name, they never ever use it--other than in said name that is. Authorise, customise, prioritise, criticise, organisation, etc.--you get the idea. I guess that's what they did with all those S's they took from the end of sports. Also, they don't even have tow away "zones" around town. They have tow away "areas." I'm telling you, it's all a big conspiracy against the letter Z.
-Don't cry over spilt milk. Yeah, I spelt that right!

Here's to celebrating the little differences!

Cheers!

Oh, and in case you were wondering, even though NZ has the metric system, at McDonald's the "Quarter-pounder with cheese" is still the "Quarter-pounder with cheese."
