How do you pronounce “what did you” in “So what did you dream about?” and other similar questions? A native of where? Not England, I'd guess ;) |

What are some products that are now words? Scotch tape is US usage; in UK it would usually be called Sellotape. |

Is there a difference between “cheers” and “thanks” in colloquial British English? @IainMH, you have an unusual way of showing respect. |

Difference between “ability” and “capability” There are some interesting answers to this question. My understanding of the two words is that "capability" implies having the tools or physical attributes to perform a task while "ability" implies having the skills or training to perform a task. I think this means that my usage coincides with Sarhanis' description and not Alan Hogue's. It also means that you are correct: software has capabilities, not abilities. |

Is there a difference between “cheers” and “thanks” in colloquial British English? I think Joost is on the right path: it seems to me to have more to do with geography than demography, common in SE England, less common elsewhere. |

Is there a difference between “cheers” and “thanks” in colloquial British English? @Hamid: as an Englishman in Victoria, I have been pulled up for my use of Cheers - it makes me stand out as foreign, apparently :) |

“Y'all” or “ya'll”? And in Australia, it's "youse" |
