Language issue...Oh, right. Yeah, there were a couple of lines that made me twitch a bit, but I tend to forget language issues once I'm done with the film (especially in a film like this where everyone except maybe Jen had fairly salty language, iirc).

I'm finding it really interesting that I seem to be in the minority, not being particularly phased by Priestly's "change."

*g* The rest of us are, I think, showing our own issues. I'm all for compromise and meeting in the middle, but the idea that one might have to become something that one "isn't" for love hits all the wrong buttons for me. Otoh, as you say, it's awfully sweet coming from Priestly, partly because it's SO deliberate, a concession to something he knows is silly, but is meeting the woman he loves where she is. So...yeah.
