Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Ron.. It's Mom's (and I will translate for you too) *laughing*. Sure, we take a lot of things from the British (English measurement system, case law, and a certain property in North America, among other things). Pat (Sajak, host of " Wheel of Fortune " ), can I have an " o " please? And, an -er instead of -re? Center, theater, liter, meter...just kidding with you. I respect the metric system very much. One of my friends in Austria has trouble trying to convert from metric to English, so I do that for her (she speaks both German English, some in Russian, some in French, and is taking Italian). > > > > And for all the Australian and British Mothers out there, - I must > translate for your benefit.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 To all the kind people who acknowledged Mothers Day - thank you - from all us mums (or moms). I, for one, appreciated your kind words and thoughts. Merra > > Well put linda! To all you mom's on here please do us all a favor today...take a break!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I'm not sure if that is the abbreviation or not.. but thanks to Acronymattic(tr), I came up with the following list of 230 possible acronyms for MOM. Some of the more obvious and intersting are... Mirror of Madness Our Mother Mothers of the Military Meals on the Move Master of Mathematics Mother of Multiples Method of Madness Man of the Month Ministry of Mothers Masters of Motivation Minister of Misinformation Management of Menopause Marathon of Miracles Mail Order Militia Mothering on the Margins Mums on the Mend Maximum of the MEOW Mother of Minor Memo of Misunderstanding Mothers Of vale > > Is it true that the American titlle MOM is an abreviation of Mother of > Mine? > > Greg > dx AS at 53 > > > > " Ron H.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 to all: FYI , the United States, Liberia and one other third-world-country-I-can't-recall are the only countries in the whole wide world who do not use the metric sysytem. Janet ZEE who knows a liter is a little more than a quart. Ron..It's Mom's (and I will translate for you too) *laughing*. Sure, we take a lot of things from the British (English measurement system, case law, and a certain property in North America, among other things).

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I don' think so, more a derivative of momma, mommie; older style is mam, mamma, mammie. It's probably all the same primal sound of need/hunger that young everywhere make, just a different vowel used in different locales/languages. jkz mmmmmmm-good!Is it true that the American titlle MOM is an abreviation of Mother of Mine?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks for the tidbit, Janet. I'll remember that one the next time I play Trivial Pursuit , who knows that a meter is approximately 1.1 yards. > > > > > > > > > > > > And for all the Australian and British Mothers out there, - I must > > > translate for your benefit.
