in the US,the word sprouts on its own can mean a variety of sprout types but rarely if ever actually refer to the Brussell variety.
UK: sprouts="brusell". Baby cabbages, basically. The word "sprouts" alone refers to various types of bean sprouts for salads/sandwiches etc
@patrick_h_lauke: Vegetable Standards Project aka "VeSP" HA! That's so so rich. Talk about all cream and no cake . . . (oh no she didn't!)
Sprout haters will never implement the sprout/ MIME type. We will require a grassy roots org to advocate. Let's call it: SpROUT.
I know! Let's give sprouts MIME types. type="sprout/brussell" or type="sprout/bean". We can even use CSS: x {flavor: spicy; color: red;}

Sprout Semantics FollowUpTwit: Okay, now U.S. English speakers if you could respond to the same question "sprouts on my sandwich, please?"

@cazm Ha! Yet defining sprouts is semantically crucial. British English speakers please respond to this: "sprouts on my sandwich please?"

Seven Periods with Mr. Gormsby impossibly offensive, deeply insightful LOL funny: http://tinyurl.com/6aj7dr
The cicadas are a buzzin'. I'm happy it's Saturday, kitteh seems as lazy as I feel this morning, too. LazyGreetsMols
Just began watching "Seven Periods with Mr. Gormsby" - that's one twisted, outrageous show, my Kiwi friends.
@mcraig Wow I had NO idea we had such a progressive social media thinker here in the Old Pueblo! Nico's on Campbell? If so we're neighbors.
Craving one of those Nico's breakfast burritos like mad but the streets are all rivers and my car ain't no boat.
I've phigured it out. The source of my headache is the IpHONE. I hate ph'n phones anyway. Enough with the phussing, phor ph's sake.
wow it's raining again. This is very, very good for Arizona, which has been in the worst drought in its written history for some years now.
@asbjornu I think it's a semantic issue. "Songwriter" implies 1. Lennon and McCartney? 2. George and Ringo both wrote. That's 4.
@mate: I caught up on your story, Miss Cyborg. Amazing stuff, sweetness. You are courageous and golden and beautiful.
@mate wow. I'm going to catch up now. I'm sorry to upset you sweetie. Not always a very attentive friend, me. I'm very happy for you xoxoxoM
@mate you've gotten both implants now? I thought it wasn't happening 'til Aussie summer next. Wow, you can hear now? How does it feel?
