Thanks so much! I've got a number of sites I go to for some of this, but I also know I'm never going to capture the feel of proper English. There's a passage in Le Carre's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy involving a description of the school that Jim Prideaux is teaching at and I know the book by heart and the paragraph or two is nearly unintelligible. Or it tosses around words like "red brick" and an American has to go and look it up. Pathetic, I know.
