There is a letter G in the word recognise. Bloody use it. What people all say is "reckonise" which is not the same word. Also driving on the left just makes way more sense.

English verbs have historically had present form, past form, and past participle form, eg. go / went / gone. I'm sad to see the past participle form being phased out of American English. People I went to school with and who I'm sure were taught differently (not to mention innumerable podcasters and public radio personalities), now say things like: "By the time I got home I found he'd already went," eliminating the past participle and instead using the past form. Had saw is not uncommon either. I am old enough I refuse to incorporate this development in the language. If I ever encounter had was/were in the wild I might blow a gasket.

I live in a pretty mountainous area, but I can think of a couple blind corners on small hills near me. So probably the one on the way to the bakery while running or biking.
But I do a lot of ski touring so I'd rather die on one of the big ones.
The Office means the British version. The American office refers to the American version.
