dindy, I was trying to compliment, not offend. I REALLY DO prefer quite a few British usage words to American usage words, with bonnet being one of those words. In many ways, England and other Commonwealth Nations do a much better job of educating their populace than the U.S. does, including Commonwealth Nations who have another common language that is not English. The need for a menu on a locker to have an 'American' selection and a separate 'English' section just (IMO) shows a negative aspect of the far reaching effects of 'American culture' (a phrase I dislike re reference to the U.S. re the arrogance it carries...IMO all people in 'the Americas' are 'American' - from Tierra del Fuego to Cape Columbia in Nunavut, Canada (I actually saw a Nunavut license plate on a car in California a few years ago!)). I have yet to make it to your fair country (my closest being Pasteum -- 50 km SE of Salerno, Italy), but I hope to eventually make it to Malta. If I do, I certainly may see some wonderfully modded Yari as we seem to have a fair number of members living in Malta.
