    USA and UK - two nations divided by a common language

    "Yawn" in English English would indicate boredom.

    Yawn for me indicated "Not again....this is getting old."
    I am glad to be from a nation that allows freedom of thought and expression of one's perceptions and perspectives.

    Variations of meaning are the hallmark of Greek language. It is the variation of meaning of words that, lends richness to deep thoughts and interpretations of words. Something that English falls short of, be it USA or UK.

    The subject categories need a big revamp in my opinion...
    So here's a reminder of what the thread is all about... that there is an real imbalance of Post Card Categories that just isn't suited to a serious Post Card seller.

    I repeat that, in my opinion, the Post Card Categories need serious revision and updating, there's nothing more behind it!

    And I close the thread!
