Murder on the dancefloor, but "Nell" <nell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> got off with
a caution and it went like this:

I'm working on my second book (finally). My problem: It has a major
British character. It's been years since I was around British lingo,
can't recall any but the most obvious British-isms, and am fearful that
this character is turning out to be very American.


Then don't write a British character, you fucking idiot.

I would like to make a trade with a British writer who has an American
character and needs assistance with dialogue. I rewrite yours if you
rewrite mine.


You are fucking ridiculous. Write what you know and leave what you
don't alone.
