Even us Left Coast libs must adopt the Queen’s English whilst sailing aboard any of the Cunard Queens. 
 

But you can push the panic button, my dear Chef @KenzSailing, once you see me insert the letter “u” to color, labor, and more importantly, flavor! 😉

I love it! Well, I’ve always loved using the phrase “Queen’s English”, so of course I doubly love hearing it used by somebody else!!

 

Triply because I have my own first Cunard booked for next year. 
 

What country does not have its own language? Per a recent NYT mini-crossword puzzle.

Apropos of all of this, today's (Oct. 6) Washington Post has a review of “Gobsmacked!,” in which writer and language commentator Ben Yagoda explores how British expressions are steadily creeiping into the American lexicon. I'd post a cite to the review but I don't think the WaPo will allow it.  (Bother, that.)

Maybe a print ad for Coca Cola.  Just saying.

For those of you in Florida who live in areas that are on the Hurricanes path I hope you have taken steps to leave the area.  Travel safely and stay safe.
