THE DEFINITIVE FANON GUIDE TO JACK AND IANTO, PART THE FIRST

[tencrush]

Now that we've all calmed down a bit, it's time for some science. I have put together a wee poll to find out what is going on in ALL YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEADS. There have been many things we haven't been told about Jack and Ianto, most of us have filled in the blanks with out own personal fanon, and I'd like to know what, on the whole, that fanon comprises. On with the science...



[Poll #1171935]



If you have any other questions you think need adressing, let me know and we'll do another one before we start analysing numbers, yeah?

I'm Dutch, born, raised, and still living here :)
I'm just good with languages (and numbers, apparently).

While my English grammar may be better, my Dutch grammar is probably still above average. I just notice that the more I write in English, the more I have to think about my Dutch :)
Of course, and this goes for any language I write in, I write 99% on instinct, and my instinct is rather accurate.

Funnily enough the most problems I have with English, is keeping BE and AE apart. Some times words and expressions slip into my BE, that turn out to be AE.

I have that problem too as an American, now that I've started speaking with Brits more often. I have to be very careful around whom I say, for instance, "I'll just put my pants on."

(Okay, yes, I understand generally one would hope you're careful around anyone you would say that to, but in this instance I was wearing a rehearsal dress and had taken my jeans off underneath them, and was about to leave for a break and put my street clothes on again. And happened to say that next to the ONE English guy in the cast. Ay ay ay.)

I think BE and AE are starting mix quite a bit more, on the whole, in recent years. "Pants" is probably the very worst offender in that respect, because that's NEVER going into the British lexicon as anything other than underwear, but in general most Brits don't even bat an eyelid anymore if you say things like elevator or eggplant. That's globalisation for you.
