Motor, debug nose and mirrors, clean windshield, repeat.
Pretty much the pattern for the last three days. I drove to Stockholm, NJ to spend some time with the fam over the weekend, then to Hagerstown, MD this morning to do a colour demo in a salon.

It's kinda like the difference between "motoring" and "kenchaning".

The company I work for is based in London.

The British version of the English language has many different spellings and words from the American version of English.
- The "extra" U in words like colour or favourite.
- The "bangs" on a woman's hairstyle is called "a fringe".
- Swaybars are called anti-sway bars.
And that's not even getting into British slang!

Bang is funny when you look at the etymology of it's usage.
Here's a little thing I wrote last month:
Sunday Morning Coffee Topic: "Fringe" vs. "Bangs"

If you're new to my chair you might be a bit confused when I refer to your "bangs" as "a fringe". My training with a company that originated in England has me using hairdressing terminology that might be a little different than you're accustomed to hearing. Aside from that, I really think that when it comes to describing the hair that falls around your eyes, the focal point of the front of your hairstyle, "fringe" sounds quite a bit more elegant and glamorous than "bang" or "bangs".

Check out this little tidbit on the etymology of the use of "bang" in reference to hairdressing: ""Bang" continued to evolve, and by the 19th century was used to convey suddenness or finality, which brings us at last from Old Norse hammers to modern haircuts. "Bangs" are so-called because they are created by cutting the hair "bang- off," abruptly and straight across the forehead. And finally, at the risk of offending our bang-coiffed readers, I must tell you that "bangs" as a young lady's hairstyle almost certainly originated with the practice of cutting horses' tails straight across, a style known to this day as a "bang-tail."

I'm not trying to be a snob when I call your bang a fringe. I just want you to feel more glamorous than a horse's tail.
