David of Hereford:
In your public relations role, you wrote that, "I believe you’ll fit in here quite well."
I have another neighbor, a Brit, whose classic comments often say more than just her words alone.
I am a Finnish-Swede (Steinback, corrected to Stenback, is Swedish for "Stone Hill"). Finnish ("Suomea", we say), my first language, preceeded my bemused encounter with what is now called "English".
No stranger to British insinuation, I inquire what "here" do you mean when you say "fit in here quite well"?
