Odd words creep in, 'gotten' for instance, but so many words cross the divide between us and you now, because of the internet, that I tend to not let it bother me. I'm sure English authors setting books in the US make equally as many mistakes.

I feel that way every time I read someone's list of books on a blog, Lark. <br /><br />Too many books out there for any of us to ever feel very comfortable about even recognizing the titles and author names, much less knowing anything at all about them.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-32207775523617590502020-03-22T13:15:04.744-05:002020-03-22T13:15:04.744-05:00I really do enjoy this series, Cath, mainly becaus...I really do enjoy this series, Cath, mainly because the Kincaid-James family is such a cobbled together one and it works so well for all the family members.
