Thank you Kelly! So Russell flew with Bullock as well. This machine crashed very close to Zlin where I live today. 2 days ago I sent you German documents on this crash.
How are you and your family btw?
I´m wondering you were able to copy all the dates from their database in such a nice way. Everytime I wanted to post something from the database just a mess appeared...

[KMeyrick]

we're great. The kids are out trick or treating right now. Been busy, but great photos of everything- barely time to check email lately- have a training I'm doing on Monday so a lot of planning.

As for the cut and paste.... hate to say it, but all I did was highlight, copied and pasted it in the reply with fingers crossed....wasn't sure what it was going to look like and was quite surprised when it pasted like it did!!

Still burning photo disks and making cards for everyone... should be in the mail soon

The attackers launched rockets, then converged on the formation from 3:00 to 9:00 o' clock in
waves of 4 to 10, line abreast, and in "V" formations of 10 to 20, firing 20mm cannons and machine
guns, and brazenly flying through the formation as they completed their passes.

What does the connection 'line abreast' mean? Could anyone draw a picture of the formation please?

Here are a couple of pictures for you.

Great thread guys! I learned my English in school as well, from the forth grade and continued until the last day in school in ninth grade, after that, the last two years I didn't have English in class.

Still learning after *mumbles* years....

Actually, if I may butt in here Roman, in your thread.....

Why the difference in the English and American spelling sometimes, like colour, color, aluminium, aluminum etc?

[seesul]

Feel free to to ask the questions here Jan and the others!
Btw, your English is excellent compared to mine. I´ve never learned English in the school but this forum helps me a lot. Especially Dan´s (LesofPrimus) vocabulary...it came in handy when I was in USA

there is absolutely no good reason for the difference.

That's like asking why bread is spelled with /ea/ and says the short /e/ sound, yet bead has /ea/ with the long /a/ sound.

English is a stupid language. there are more exceptions to the spelling rules than there are words that actually fit the rule.

Webster (the dictionary guy) actually had a lot to do with the adaption of "or" vs "our" in the US. That's they way he spelled them and as the main dictionary writer in the US, that's they way it was taught in school.

Hi Kelly,

how are you and your family doin´? Mike was on visit at you few days ago, right?

I was told once, a long time ago, that the ommission of extra vowels in the American dialect is a form of language evolution. Much like actual English has over the years. The less letters in a word, the less effort to write...

If you've ever read any works by Shakespeare (or other works from the era), you'll see that the "Olde Englishe" of Merry Old England had many extra vowels that are no longer seen in modern English.

It's kind of the same thing with words like tomato. Typically, Americans pronounce it "tuh-may-toe" (it's "tuhmay-duh" in New Jersey) and the English pronounce it "toe-mah-toe".
