Steady! mum and dad :)
I can't help wondering if the Yorkshire librarian scowling at modernity would have come out in hives at the Americanism.
Great call though, it's short enough and easy enough for somebody new to Larkin to hook into. I'd paste it all here but not sure on the legality.
Pithily miserablist; Morrissey for the page...
- hnarn 7y agoI guess my excuse is that English isn't my first language, so I blame my occasional slip-up between BE and AE on the ever present American English in my life through 99,9 % of all the text and media I consume. I actually hadn't thought about "mum" being a British variant, but now that you mention it it's suddenly glaringly obvious.
