Hmm. Just a thought on the expression "Good for you". We have a similar expression in Swedish which is "Kul för dig". But the meaning is something like "Good for you. Myself, I couldn't care less." But, apparently in America, it's actually a positive and appreciating comment. It's hard to get used to that.

Now I've seen a photo of her and Pam. She looks _really_ cool! Not at all what I'd expected. It would be way cool to see your name in an article get-at-able at my uni library. Are there many people on this list which have been published in any linguistic journals? It would be fun to read those papers then.
