I did use both football and soccer in the same sentence to try to cater for both sides of the Atlantic, but I know what you mean.<BR/><BR/>Knowing how far to 'Americanise' the blog is a problem, the article I have just finished throws up problems of movie versus film, phonograph versus record player etc.<BR/><BR/>There is a heavy US bias to the readership of <I>On An Overgrown Path</I> despite its UK origin. (I regularly receive invites to concerts in New York!) I don't know whether this then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as the Americanisation attracts more US readers, and so on ...<BR/><BR/>Any views, from either side of the pond, welcome on how far Americanisation should go. Or are cultural boundaries now made irrelevant by the internet?Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-1148859888704933912006-05-29T00:44:00.000+01:002006-05-29T00:44:00.000+01:00Well I'm sure we'd have him back...But what I real...Well I'm sure we'd have him back...<BR/><BR/>But what I really wanted to say was please don't use "soccer" when describing the World Cup. I went to a rugby school and even I can't abide that word! Your American readership can learn the real name of the sport.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-1148646329178083312006-05-26T13:25:00.000+01:002006-05-26T13:25:00.000+01:00Read a follow-up story in the Guardian via this li...Read a follow-up story in the Guardian via this link -<BR/><BR/>http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1783549,00.htmlPliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.com
