TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Of course, the answer to "why is that?" is "Because."
And in England you can (or could0 live in a street not
on it. I've noticed that seems to be changing or have
changed. Of course, they also don't put so much
vinegar in the tomato ketchup anymore, either. :)
Things do happen "at Christmastime" as far as I'm
concerned, and if you consider the 12 Days of
Christmas, it fits just fine. I wouldn't say "in
Christmastime" at all.
