Mr Ice-ni Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Sorry for the insult - though you should try and write English if you wish to be understood by most of the members of this forum.John [kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 [quote user="Ovidia"]... but do mean the British word "garden" when I use "yard" [/quote]One of the many meanings of a yard in English used to be an outside area, often behind or adjacent to a house, where the 'privy' was situated or your parked your bike. Nowadays it is often the rear yard of a Victorian terrace, often concreted over or tarmaced, with a few flower filled pots and/or a patch of lawn.I believe an Australian yard is frequently the equivalent of a garden in English.Isn't language usage amazing.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
