the most ingeniuos idea for a blog post ever written


Today I settled myself down before the keyboard, with the intention of typing up an exquisitely frank, honest and open post, full of heart felt words and phrases which would tell, with all the utmost truth, the hardships and endeavours that I, J, go through on a regular basis.

Im one of those peopple who often discovers something theyre not necessarily looking for, and this post was no exception. The grand idea for this came from a simple stumbled upon book review, soo I'm starting this with a quote from said review. It's from an American about a British book:

"There is something about the way the British write that I find fascinating. Maybe it’s the "formality" of their language? I don’t exactly know." *
 

I'm not sure I know either.
 
I don’t know about you, but, being English, I don’t really think about English customs, the way of life, and the way we speak or write. And probably it’s the same for others; people maybe don’t look deeply at their own culture because they’re surrounded by it. So to hear a view of British language from a non- Brit interested me. Thinking and actually dissecting my own culture was something I'd never done before I read the review. Until now.
