--- Quote from: Frank on September 27, 2009, 12:33:16 PM ---One of the joys of multicultural communication is that our words (in English) can be perceived differently due to the differences in exposure. A constant problem in our house with Carmen being native German, Felicity native Dutch and me native English. I often get pulled up for saying the wrong thing when I didn't and can also misunderstand them. Mind you the English also seem to have a problem with the way I say things >:D
Tolerance and asking for clarification is often the key.

Yes, I agree with this post entirely, and I do apologise for getting rather shirty. I have had some rather frightful experiences on the boards here recently which, I think, have mostly been due to misunderstandings.
I really appreciate your post, Frank.
My apologies to Ivo. I hope we might start over somewhere soon.
Margi:
Actually looking at mine against yours again I can see similarities but differences at the same time will post my clear one anyway just for the sake of it.
Tinker-Taylor:
Brilliant!!
:)
Margi:
And here it is.
Tinker-Taylor:
Thanks Margi!
How nice to see another, even with very slight differences. Emma and I have a great affection for these vases because they're what got us started in our appreciation of glass. Though we sell them on if they're offered to us for mere pence, we love the two in our picture because the small one was our first and we didn't know the larger one existed until very recently, so it really looked absurd to us when we found it in a boot sale under-table box!
Thanks again - will keep a look out for variations in the future.
:)
