Believing Your Own Propaganda

摘要

Recently I spent a quiet moment flicking through the 2005 issues of Compoundings.Yes,maybe I should get out more!A few thoughts may be worth exploring.One obvious fact is the way "English" is used in the U.S.compared to this side of the pond and how easily colloquial expressions creep into use.These cause confusion,especially where English is a second language.Mike Johnson's article on aftermarket additives (August 2005) had me a bit baffled with a reference to "The Tall and Piney Fence." What can this possibly mean? 1 understood each word,but join them together and I'm lost!
