Re: [GWL]: new topic?

not to worry....these little differences are fun. For exampke, do we want Osama bin Laden to go to jail or gaol? And the English add "u" to words like  favor,  honor,  and color. i think we can deal with it. carolyn

I see a dichotomy brewing here - differences between American English and UK English.    The latest American dictionaries allow words that would leave Brits like, totally clueless. :-)
Is there an English Professor in the house?

OK...here's one for the experts.  Which is correct and why?  I used to garden or I use to garden?  Think about it though.  I suspect it's not as easy as it looks.  No wise guys answers like "I once gardened" are acceptable.
