The roots of Canadian English can be found in the events which followed the American Revolution of 1776. Those who had supported Britain found themselves unable to stay in the new United States, and most went into exile in the Ontario region of Canada. From there they spread to all parts of the country. They were soon followed by many thousands who were attracted by the cheapness of land. 2. The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, if you've eaten and what sort of drinks you've had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks. 3. British or American, the language is basically the same, and its global stature is backed up by massive English-language training programs, an international business that in textbooks, language courses, tape cassettes, video programs and computerized instruction - is worth hundreds of millions of pounds or dollars to the economies of the US and the UK.

Anyone who is familiar with American media receives the impression that Americans are not too far removed from the days of the Wild West when guys with guns took care of business, both private and public.

We can't persuade young people to change their behaviour just by telling them what's good for them, but need to appeal to what is important to them.». 6. Nearly 600 international restaurant owners, chefs and journalists participated in the poll to rank the best restaurants worldwide. A further thirteen British restaurants made it onto the elite eateries list, four in the top ten. This gives the home of fish and chips an unusual reputation as a culinary paradise. Britain is infamous for its bland and uninspiring food, which is scoffed at by the more sophisticated palates of its French neighbours. 7. About a month ago we came up with the phrase that became our motto: «Make something people want». We've learned a lot since then, but if I were choosing now that's still the one I'd pick. Another thing we tell is not to worry too much about the business model, at least at first. Not because making money is unimportant, but because it's so much easier than building something great.
