By Abi Bock
It was during my interview at Elevate PR when I realized Irish English does not equal American English.
One of my interviewers was from Donegal, enough said. The other asked me to come in at half nine. “Sorry, does that mean half after nine or before?”
I moved to Dublin from New York in January 2010 and have slowly been understanding those slight language barriers.

I’m knackered – “I’m really tired,” OH.
“Lovely.” Lovely word, I’m bringing it back with me.
“Grand” – That’s grand, you’re grand, grand, grand, grand – so many usages!
Thanks a mil = Thanks a lot!
Good woman.

Cheryl Cole – I didn’t know who she was before Ireland…
