Pride & Prejudice

North & South: Book I is good as well.

Some time ago I realized there was an American North and South and a British North & South.

reply

[–] Stratego (31085) 2 years ago

I meant the American show (wrong spelling, my mistake). It confused the hell out of me when the British show aired, I was very disappointed to find out it wasn't a rerun of the 1985 show.

Patrick Swayze was so great in it. And the rest of the cast.

"&" vs. "and" :)
