Tracy;

Well, it looks like I misunderstood your message. Now it’s clear! So, let’s enjoy/learn both languages.
Cheers.

>I only made the comment that we do not speak the King's English, because, well, it is true (we all know it-our 'American' English is terrible to say the least), and you mentioned that you only wanted to use terms that were pure/British English. I was not sure if it truly was or not. That is why I suggested you check a 'British' dictionary and I could not find a link to one online. I'm sorry if I appeared rude in anyway, I certainly did not mean to! Sorry for any misunderstanding!

>>Cool down. I've learned more English in Miami (believe it or not) than in London.
>>BTW, We all have dictionaries (Oxford or whatever) but we all are busy "fighting code" in front of this neverending screen, therefore digital sources are more convenient.

>>>Since we Americans do not speak the "King's English" I suggest you check the Oxford or Cambridge English Dictionaries then. Teetotaler is in the Cambridge dictionary, but I cannot check the Oxford dictionary as I do not have one and the online version is available by subscription only.
