	Alternative words for British - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term Pommy for a British person is commonly used in Australian English, New Zealand English and South African English and Afrikaans Speakers, and is often shortened to Pom.
		This term was especially used from the mid-17th century to around 1898 when the British Army wore distinctive scarlet red-coloured coats in their typical military dress.
		Sometimes the concepts of "British" and "English" are reversed, even among some English speakers, who think that the use of the terms "English" and "England" are to be avoided, when it is, in fact, their misuse that causes offence.

		These results are fairly astounding (to me) for two reasons: how far left I am of the British which the x-axis (crime and punishment) shows, and how centrist on the y-axis (economics) compared to the British people.
		How the British deal with crime is quite different than in the US: I've heard London described as a short jump from a Police State due to the huge amounts of closed circuit cameras and police procedures.
		I mean - you're on the left of the British people as was I, and we get a sense that the survey shows us that the British people are more to the right than we expected.

	Alternate Versions for Dawn of the Dead (1978) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		The original UK cinema version (aka Romero's 'theatrical print') was cut by the BBFC to remove an exploding head and a screwdriver killing, and the 1989 video version lost a further 12 secs of gore and shooting plus a scene of a woman's arm being bitten.
		Some cuts were restored in the alternate 1997 Directors Cut video although 6 secs remained missing including the exploding head, arm bite and an additional edit to the shooting of the 2 zombie children (in response to the 1997 Dunblane massacre).
		British version is 120 minutes long and is Romero's US-cut, and misses most of the violence (despite an "18" cert.) because of censorship cuts.

	From British Drama 1890 to 1950
		This can partly be attributed to the fact that without copyright laws protecting them playwrights had gotten out of the habit of publishing their plays (except as prompt books) and thus of thinking of them as literature, subject to criticism.
		But George Bernard Shaw, this era’s chief playwright, argued and demonstrated that, technological progress notwithstanding, backwardness was so deeply entrenched in the moral, religious, and governmental systems of the day that it was not too much to call the entire age a dark age and to play its “progressiveness” as an ironic joke.
		On the continent, Émile Zola had argued in 1873 that playwrights should be scientists too, “realistically” and tough-mindedly examining in the laboratory of the stage the physical operation of human society and human consciousness.

	Boiler terms and explanations
		In incineration terminology, a burner is the part of the equipment where the fuel is actually burned, however, the word burner is sometimes also used in a more general sense to describe the overall apparatus in which the fuel is burned and heat is produced.
		Therefore, the word boiler includes the burner (or heater or furnace) component, but we use the words heater or furnace as well as boiler in order to fully explain the functionality of our products.
		However, when the word burner is used in our literature, we mean it in the first, more specific sense - the part of the heating equipment where the fuel is actually burned.

	ASSAULT DIVISION excerpt: British 3rd Div on D-Day
		The illusion that we had designs on Norway was heightened by the intensification of our mining of the Southern Baltic and the Kiel Canal and by a series of air attacks on U-boats off the Norwegian coast shortly before D-day, aimed simply at preventing their joining the U-boat squadrons in Brest and the Biscay.
		The infantry, feeling the strain and reaction from their first attacks on the beach positions, were surprised, relieved, and greatly cheered at this spectacle.
		General Rennie was ashore by 10.30 a.m; unlike the situation at Suvla with Mahon, Stopford and Hammersley, the difficulty lay in restraining him from risking the dangers of the front-line.

	Turns of Phrase: Allohistory
		Other names for this idea are counterfactualism, virtual history, and uchronia, though the most common term is alternative history (alternate history in the US).
		In scholarly historical circles, “what if” speculation has in the past been unpopular to the point of derision, though this is now changing, in particular in the field of military history.
		The British historian Niall Ferguson wrote a book in 1997 in which he defended allohistory—he argued that if the study of history is ever to be able to predict future events on the basis of past ones, it is important to analyze what might (or should) have happened, as well as what actually did.

	The Little Professor: Words
		My nomination goes to "intervention." Until recently, the last time I had heard the word "intervention" used was at a history conference at Oxford in 1982.
		(The word "comrade" was also used extensively.) What the speakers obviously meant was some form of the noun or verb "question." And I think I'll throw in "contested" just for fun.
		I agree that the word is overused, but it's a direct consequence of the unconscious nature of literary creation that a work can be subversive without it being recognized by the audience (and still be artful).
