Once Upon A Time In America - Sergio Leone (1984) A great film that I've seen many times. The additional scenes are of very poor visual quality and add little to the film, in fact they disrupt the flow. Worth a look but I think the previous version minus the ' lost footage' is more enjoyable. Incidentally the BR is disappointing in general, with a flat, slightly washed out look. Probably because of the quality of the original source rather than a technical muck up.

I'm talking about direct conversation, not one over the phone. If my missus calls me on my mobile while I'm out walking, she'd say ' Bring home some bread' ( actually the direct Japanese equivalant). The two situations I mentioned were direct, face to face conversations. One was ma to kids as they left for school ' Bring your lunch'. The other was a person leaving work and heading home, being told ' Bring this cake home with you'. Johnny's mother , speaking to Johnny as he leaves home for school should tell him not to forget to take his books, not not to forget to bring his books, that's wrong.

The use of 'uz' for 'our' - "we're gonna ger uz bags and ger uz buzzes and ger 'om' - was a common one. Indeed, but 'uz' is also used in place of 'me' as in 'Gee uz a kiss luv'. In Sheffield ' 'Aar' is also used in place of 'our' , 'Aarouse' for our house and ' Aarkid' for my elder bother, in which case it is also used for singular 'My'. Language is a wonderful thing.

No, it isn't and yes, you are correct. Absolutely correct. In a situation where the kids are leaving for school, mother should say ' Don't forget to take your books'. As the kids are going, the paired verb take is used. You can imagine why I'm puzzled when, not once but many times I've heard American tv characters say ' Don't forget to bring your books', and, to a person about to go home, 'Bring this cake home with you'. At first I thought it was a script error, then I heard it again and started listening carefully. Numerous times I've heard this incorrect use of 'bring' and came to the conclusion that it must be some American colloquial use that I had previously been unaware of. Normally I wouldn't bother and write it off as ignorance, but presumably the scriptwriters are reasonably well educated and I can't find a reason why they would mix up bring and take, other than it being a commonly accepted form. If so, I'd appreciate an explanation. Another widely heard tv show expression that bugs me is ' reach out ', I really dislike that term. What happened to 'contact' or ' speak to' ?

I don't think there is a correct or incorrect pronunciation, the choice is determined by region. In Yorkshire the t was always dropped. I've been asked the same thing here a few times and have always said that the dropped t is the one to use. If the standard were to be determined by a BBC news presenter, the dropped t is clearly more common. There are quite a few such linguistic oddities. A thread called ' linguistic quirks & anomalies' would be interesting. For starters, I'd love someone to clarify the baffling and illogical American use of 'bring' and ' take'.

Anomalisa - Duke Johnson, Charlie Kaufman (2016) Strange head trip on the inability to find meaning in relationships. It got under my skin enough to warrant a second viewing, and suspect I'll watch it again quite soon. Frances Ha - Noah Baumbach (2012) I liked this when I first saw it and like it even more the second time. Fantastic Mr Fox - Wes Anderson (2009) Love it.
