Steven (tbones) | 46 comments hey Jo this was an awesome idea for a board. This actually does come up a bit for me as I do like to read a lot of the horror titles that come out over in your neck of the woods :o)
Hopefully, I can help you out with stuff on here as well sometime

Dean (cowboys86) | 122 comments Good idea, although I'm already set on the whole American/English difference in word usage, helps to be an American living in the UK I suppose :)

I'll be more than happy to lend any help to people that have questions though.

Afsana (afsanaz) that does sound a good idea. Though usually it melds into the text and you work it out

Diane  (dianedj) Jo - PERFECT! I need help :)

I am reading the British edition of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest and for example the chapters are entitled:

Saturday 9.iv - Sun, 10.iv

What does the 9 and .iv mean? The 9th of April maybe?

Diane  (dianedj) Hi Jo! I will ask Yas, maybe she will know. Thanks!

Afsana (afsanaz) diane I think what you thought is probably correct but you have to think it is a swedish book in british translation so the swedish author would have set out like that so its a swedish thing not british thing

Diane  (dianedj) Afsana, I'm (obviously) very late in replying back to you :) I wasn't even thinking about the book being Swedish origin, so thanks! Now that the American version is out, I verified and indeed it meant the month and the day.
