English question

[druffine]

My colleague has a calender in his room and everyday there is a new thing to learn about English as a language on.

Today's hint is:

Kaspar was really worried about the joint his elderly neighbour had invited him to on Sunday. Might he have misunderstood something?

The calender explains that: no, that old Lady does not want to smoke some pot with him but she's going to make him a nice piece of meat to eat.

Question is, does anybody talk like that? Do you invite someone over to a joint in a non-drug-y way?

Thanks for the help.

Clearly English and not American. :) We will never have a cuppa tea, either. Unless, of course, we're Spike fans. :)

Yeah, they teach us "English" English here at school and everywhere. Something about the queen speaking the clearest English on earth??? *shrugs*

Anyway, I find it very hard to differ the English and the American apart from the obvious "cuppa" because I haven't heard them spoken live yet (apart from TV Series). Guess I need a native speaker to point out the differences anyway. I tend to attach the way a person speaks to the person's character and not to the country they come from. I'm like: "Hey she speaks like Spike!" I'm not like: "Oh she must be English." *makessense?*
