... "Cecil Moore" wrote in message ... I assume you mean deaf? Few people have used cell phones for ten years already. You in the USA already? ;-) Already I have used an already mobile phone for well over ten years already. (not too sure how to punctuate that in the USA vernacular) ;-) I see no signs of ill health in either myself, or my daughter already. We both went with Orange about the same time. ( A British mobile phone network) Isn't Orange an offshoot of Hutchinsion Telecom which was, I think, from Hong Kong? Now Orange work at about 1.8 Gig? At that time, that was about the highest frequency phone system that was going. Now we have systems that work at 3 gigabyte? already. Or do they operate at even higher frequencies already? I'm not to sure already. Right! I'm off to bed already. ;-) Actually Dave, Cecil's use of "already" was quite appropriate. Just because it may not be 'our' English doesn't make it incorrect- for good or ill US and UK English are diverging. Languages change. In fact, there is some evidence the US English is nearer to old English than current UK usage. -- Brian Reay www.g8osn.org.uk www.amateurradiotraining.org.uk FP#898 |

![]() "Brian Reay" wrote in message ... Isn't Orange an offshoot of Hutchinsion Telecom which was, I think, from Hong Kong? That was the company that created it, then sold it to British Aerospace, who in turn sold it on again. It is now French (spit) owned. Actually Dave, Cecil's use of "already" was quite appropriate. That was why I included the smilies. I find it kinda cute that English in this country has modernised, but that English spoken over the pond is stuck in the 17 century. Languages change. In fact, there is some evidence the US English is nearer to old English than current UK usage. Once again, I find this fact hard to understand, when the world's fastest growing technology, with the worlds largest budget etc can't up-grade the language it speaks, to what the rest of the English speaking world use.
