Chuckle, chuckle! Thanks for a good laugh. I particularly like that last one, and I can’t wait to forward it to my friend Margaret in Ottawa, and Steve in Minnesota!

I recently published a post on a letter written by John Cleese aka Basil from Fawlty Towers, and his plans to reclaim the English language from the USA, which has had me chuckling for days.
The reply by a Canadian reader is equally witty.
Enjoy!
