 Subject: [ADS-L] Quote: We are two peoples separated by a common language
   
The saying in the subject line was about the British and the

There was a discussion about the saying on this mailing list way back
in February 2011. Now there is an entry on the Quote Investigator
website. Here is part of the acknowledgment:

Thanks also to Stephen Goranson and other discussants on the ADS
mailing list. Goranson located the valuable October 29, 1942 citation.
