'cause of the bit with the full stop being inside or outside the speech marks, and calling full stops periods.

This reminds me of the My Fair Lady line when the professor is talking about English etc... "In America they haven't spoken it for years!"

(of course present company excepted, many friendly (and literate!) americans read this fine blog!)

Andrew - Maybe "greengrocer" was put in to confuse the Americans!
