Well Yinka, now Faruk has an additional challenge in his discussion of English(es) and the actual meaning
of words in various contexts.
Some words and expressions may actually mean the opposite in some cases, depending on who utters them.

May be some in their official capacities; not all British process and transmit communication in identical ways.
We must remember Britain is a collage of nationalities just like Nigeria. Remember the running linguistic foray on Nigerian English with Dr Faruk Kperogi?
