Your English tends, or at least aspires to be more English the American - is this a conscious decision?

The sound of English-English usage, sentence construct, as well as mannerism strikes me as quit odd, at time. Your tendency to use understatement and to qualify you opinion also has that very English aroma.

A small request, can you substitute "tad" with "bit" from time to time?

I think it is more of a subconscious decision, stemming from watching far too much British comedy, and reading too much Terry Pratchett.

And though I am a tad bewildered by your request I'll try to implement it a bit. :-)
