Have you ever been midway through the delightful TSA experience and thought, “a screaming cat would really make this moment more memorable”?
Well, let us assure you: it is DEFINITELY more memorable than your average, run-of-the-mill international flight. In addition to being more memorable, it also adds many layers of complexity to traveling (or moving) internationally, but it’s well worth it to have your furry (or feathery or scaly) friends with you on the other side! No need to worry if you are in this situation and wanting to bring your best friend with you, the Language Nerds are here to help you sort out some of the tricky details! We’ll help you with safety, requirements for travel, preparation of the crate, and other tips from our own experience.
In Language News this week, British English is no longer regarded as the dominant form of English. In fact, Oxford dictionary now includes words and phrases from many other forms of English from around the world, including “add oil!” from Chinese English.
