1. Pretty sure I am getting man-flu.
2. Pretty sure I brought Nyquil to the UK.
"The lurgy” (pronounced with a hard G) is british slang for that kind of sniffling, snotty, general cold you just can’t shake all season. And right now, I’ve got the lurgy for sure."

In america, these are braces. In england, it’s singular: a brace.
(Wait. Someone tells me that’s only for retainers. Hm.)

I write to my boyfriend and tell him he needs to send me some of his money to help pay the dentist tomorrow.
He writes me back and says that we aren’t incredibly wealthy at the moment, but he’s sending what we have, and that we’ll have enough shortly to pay the balance and buy tickets to visit each other.
I’m not sure if he changes all the my and your to we and our on purpose to make me feel better, or if he just really never thinks twice about sharing everything, but I always notice and feel lucky.
