“Ironic” vs “ironical” Interesting. From your link: "Burchfield suggests that the choice is "governed by the rhythm of the sentence"; it's my conjecture that this is more true in Britain than America, where, it seems to me, 'ironic' clearly prevails in all contexts." This suggests that "ironical" is more used in British English according to rhythm. Being British this amused me as I had thought, perhaps badly assumed, "ironical" was more an American affectation. |

What should I call the English spoken in UK? I would also add word usage differences as well when talking about British English, but in its written form the spelling differences are probably most noticable. |

What is the name of the first decade in a century? I would have said that the "nineteen hundreds" refers to the entire century, not the first decade of it. |
