... And greetings to you Bindair.
Judging from your name and the New English dialect that you use, I assume you are from the sub continent. I fancy myself an expert of the different linguistic varieties of the global phenomena of the New Englishes and your interesting alteration of the word �very� being substituted by the word �berry� tells me that you come from the fruit belt in Southern Goa.

Jack, greetings from King Cobra 007, King of the Arabian Desert and Sea.
It seems your are an expert in Linguistic, and it did not come to my mind that the people of Southern Goa pronounce �very� as �berry�, interesting!
I guess this was because of the influence of Portuguese Colonial Rule of the area for more than 450 years!
BTW, jack, I am not an English teacher, I am a Mathematician. |
