Bend over back****
When you make an extreme effort, do you bend over backward? Or do you bend over backwards?

I add the "S," but then some people tell me I often make an "S" or myself.

In the UK we bend over backwards. One treats with considerable suspicion anyone who offers to bend over forwards for one.

So you don't trust people who bow?

Only if I were the monarch! We don't do the bowing thing - a slight inclination of the head is more than enough.

Well, you know, we British make allowances for the strange habits of foreigners :-)
