That is a good read, Carruthers. I just learned, for example, that the pink bunny whose batteries last longer than anyone else's was originally the Duracell Bunny, until Duracell failed to renew their patent in the US, and Energizer stole it from them. In the UK they apparently talk about the Duracell Bunny in the exact same way we talk about the Energizer Bunny.

Of all the things that are difficult to accept, but I am learning to deal with, this one gives me an opportunity to exercise the right to refuse to believe something even when cited by a reliable source.

No, they do it with an accent.

That's because out of any random 10 Englishmen, you can't find more than three who sound alike.

Time Magazine's top ten photos for 2014

I see they gave Ellen DeGeneres credit for the picture that millions of people witnessed Bradley Cooper take.

Probably because it was her camera and her idea. The plan was to ask Streep to step out of the group and take the picture as a joke. Then Cooper insisted on taking it, and that bunch is like wrangling cats, take the shot, now or never.
