Separated by a common language! Is this Brits and Yanks? Or males and females? Perhaps both?
I rather think we are all every one of us separated by our different takes on the spoken language' even given the different words; because you have to know someone a long time before you get the intensity of what they are telling you - Some people are always hyper when conversing and overegging the pudding others are calm when they are just about to go to pieces - So I think its universal and communication comes with a lot of time for understanding especailly drama kings and queens
