LOL there are so many regions of England that I could suggest she may have lived in therefore could not speak English :-D

Allan

Allan Report 10 Mar 2017 23:32

English is a fascinating language, particularly the change of usage of some words over a period of time :-D

I'm just glad that I was born English and didn't have to learn it as a second language. :-D :-D :-D

It was different for my OH as even though she was born in England she didn't learn English until she was five :-0

Ah! The good old corruption, and I do mean old:


archaic

(of organic or inorganic matter) in a state of decay; rotten or putrid.

"a corrupt and rotting corpse

Could this apply to the body of a Thread? :-0

"From Middle English blanden, blonden, from Old English blandan ?(“to blend, mix, mingle; trouble, disturb, corrupt”), "
