It's time for this week's writer check in.

Inspired by [livejournal.com profile] merentha13's suggestion of an online slang dictionary, I thought I'd include a few other Brit checking resources:
  • List of British word not widely used in the U.S. (Pretty much as advertised, a big long list of Brit-specific words)
  • U.K. vs. U.S. spelling (For when you're debating using "ise" or "ize")
  • Dictionary of English Slang (This one's my personal fave)

    And inspired by my own incipient panic, how about a poll on how we're all doing:
    [Poll #1737374]

    Bodie and Doyle are very curious to hear how you're all doing...

    I believe it's very good for *causing* amnesia, at least that's what the lads always claim.

    *nods* Yep, excellent for causing it... perhaps not so good at curing it, but hey, it's worth a shot if you've already got amnesia. You know how two negatives make a positive? Maybe if you already have amnesia, copious quantities of alcohol will cure it. Yep, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it!

    I like theories, theories are good... and who needs braincells.

    Agreed! I have a theory, don't confuse me with facts!

    You know, scientists say the average human only uses 5% of their brain... that gives you lots of spare braincells to destroy!
