Re: Is Britain Now Part of America ?
 

I work selling ITIL training which is a trademark owned by the OGC (Office of Government Commerce) and the books are published by the UK's TS0 (The Stationary Office) which publishes most of our government documents.

Recently our source material was updated from Version 2 to Version 3. Whilst going through the draft books our Director pointed out that it had all changed from £ to $ and s changed to z as in specialize. He made sure that our materials corrected this Americanism.

Thankfully the TSO changed this back in the final drafts but very nearly was something invented by the UK civil service taken over by the Americans.. MOF, SAS 70 anyone?

Sorry to disappoint you, but I just asked all my family (individually) and all answered June 30th. I would as well if asked.

Re: Is Britain Now Part of America ?
 

well glad to see if got changed in the end but it is worry that stuff from our own government is getting spelt in the American way.. it may only seem like trivial things to start with but if you let these things before you know it we will be like a US state.

that's part of the problem because today is The Thirtyiest of June of 30th June. Putting the month first is an Americanism but as the media using US Desk Top Publishing software bombard is with the US format we have forgotten how to print the date correctly

Change is inevitable. Due to the diet of US music and cartoons the kids are fed. I hear kids use the words, garbage, trash, candy and gas etc all the time.Its sad, but lets not get to much like the French, who have a Ministry of Language. My god, this Labour mob would have a field day, another facet of our lives they would try and control
