Picspam! To celebrate the end of Reading Week!

[beboots]

So this week off from school has been fairly productive, I suppose. More or less. I could have always gotten more work done. (And now I'm second-guessing the way I phrased that because my British mother always tells me that "gotten" is a filthy, clumsy Americanism and that I shouldn't use it. >_> BUT IT JUST COMES OUT NATURALLY THAT WAY WHAT SHOULD

"Gotten" is not an Americanism! Shakespeare used it!

And anyway, Americans have come up with many lovely words, including "roundabout". SO THERE BRITAIN. :D

Yeah, "gotten" is one of several provincialisms that fell out of use in Britain but gained new life in the Americas. It doesn't stop my mother from teasing me about it, though. ;)

(Also, your icon? LOVE.)

Well, I get teased for saying "y'all" (in fact my reading group discussed this today, as the concept of plural "you" doesn't really make much sense to them, and why should it, really) so I totally understand. :D

(Also, my icon? That's the show that convinced me Canada is AWESOME.)

I watched all four seasons for the very first time last year in a ridiculously short period of time. >_> Super awesome. My mother watched it a lot back in the day, and still watches reruns on TV on occasion. I'm told that it's the single most popular source the world's understanding of what Canada is really like
