Today I am going to try to tick things off my list that I've been meaning to get done. My BFF Sara is running an interactive art project called 'Can I Help You?', wherein she will become something of a personal assistant (something I think she was born to do - this lady gets stuff done!). In different venues, people are able to approach her and you can ask her to help you with something. It is tempting to lure her to my house to help me clean up the pile of clothes on my bedroom floor, but I'm trying to think of something more fun that she might be able to help me with. Maybe she can come to my house and help me watch five seasons of Angel? I think she'd be up for that.

Monday List: Dialect Differences
glitter_1600_15

I am very fascinated by the little differences in language and wording between Western countries. You might remember my Regional Dialect Meme vlog from a few months ago - it mainly focused on pronunciation, but there are lots of specific word differences between Australian and the US. I made a larger list of some differences I could think of on my Listography. The words above are just some of my favourites.

Can you think of any other fun word differences?
