Another Note on Language

For the most part I know what English words we used in Thailand that we don't use here.

I know we invigilated there and proctor here. I know we revised our lessons there and review here. We never "go first here". And no one ever says "can" for yes. But recently I was saying something about the aircon and I got laughed at. What aircon isn't American English? I guess it's A/C. Good old A/C.

I love hearing you say "can" and "aircon" and "I go first"!!! The familiarity of it warms my heart!
