Hi everyone!
It is often said that Britain and America are "two nations divided by a common language". However, the attribution of this quote on the web and elsewhere is dubious at best.
I originally heard that it was said by Winston Churchill, although having checked, other sources cite George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde.
Does anyone know for certain to whom we should attribute this? Sorry if it seems trivial. It is driving me nuts now.
Cheers!
