What was your favorite game to play at recess in grade school?

People are speaking American. I don't understand.

Or a perfectly good language ruined and at least us Brits only pretend not to understand (only joking).

If you don't like the way we talk, then go back where you came from. Oh, wait, you're already there!

So, tell me which words do you not understand, and I will try to translate. Recess refers to the "go outside and play" periods during the school day. Grade school is the early parts of the American school system, usually including grades 1-6, or up to age 11 or 12.

Exactly.

I see. I sort of guessed that's what it meant. We call recess "playtime" (for younger kids), or "break" (a more mature version). Grade school equates to primary school. I feel like we are furthering the understanding between our two great nations. Perhaps this is the kind of conversation that takes place between Bush and Blair...
