Thanks for the article, pdedse. I love things about the history of the language. I'll consider myself chastened. Although I still want to drive/ride through/thru coffee and food!

Have you read Bill Bryson's book on the history of the English language? I think it's called Mother Tongue. As I recall, he reckons a lot of American pronunciation is closer than British English to the way people spoke in the 17th century.

That's the road from just north of Fernvale to Somerset Dam. It's a lovely ride, although the speed limit has been reduced at the southern end. Unnecessarily in my view. It's a big dea here where speed limits are strictly enforced. Then the early stages of the road north of Somerset Dam towards Hazeldean is pretty and windy, although the surface could use some work.

58 from Daybro to D'Aguilar is, indeed, a lovely ride, although popular with speed camera police over the weekend.

This is a favourite, easy ride, https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?m...sp=sharing
