Varieties of English
Hello, I have a pedagogical piece called 'British & American English' which lists the differences in spelling & pronunciation. If you've seen my stuff you'll know the sort of thing. I was wondering if you could advise me on where exactly to place it. I could produce a second, AmE to BrE, version & append the two to your articles; or I could make it a separate article, but then there arises the problem of what to call it. 'Varieties of English'? But you seem to be the expert on that subject. Please advise. Ro Thorpe 18:38, 13 March 2008 (CDT)
