Darwin (10) runs into my kitchen whilst i'm making biscochitos for
Christmas presents.

"Mom! "Does??!" "It has 0's and E's and U's?"

"O's and E's"

"Awesome, thanks!"

Yay! Darwin just went back and wrote to friends in Switzerland and
spelt 'does' the way Americans do formally, but must say, the 'u'
makes great sense to me as well. English. Galdarnit!

My MIL moved here from Switzerland when she was 12, she's 70 now and still has to sound out her U's and O's when spelling (writing). She gave me the example that she would like to spell wonderful, wunderfol!

Funny, after knowing her for 18 years, we just had this conversation this past weekend. :)
