SCO Weekly NewsSCO Weekly NewsPosted Dec 11, 2003 23:17 UTC (Thu) by dododge (subscriber, #2870)Parent article: SCO Weekly News Just FYI for the editor and foreign readers: the term "tabled" means essentially the opposite in UK English (tabled: discussed immediately) as it does in US English (tabled: put aside until some later time). In this particular case it's probably obvious from context, but I have run into confusion when using this term in discussions with Europeans.

SCO Weekly News Posted Dec 19, 2003 13:27 UTC (Fri) by Wol (guest, #4433) [Link] Apparently Churchill and Roosevelt had a mighty misunderstanding over this (both literally and figuratively in mid-Atlantic).It comes from the implied preposition - Brits put the motion ON the table, Yanks put it UNDER the table. Dunno what Aussies do ... :-) Cheers,
