@corta24 I'm blocked by somebody in this thread so I can't see all of the comments.


As @froggtongue said there's all sorts of regional differences. I wouldn't say, for example, "ring you up" but just "ring you" or "give you a ring" - both are interchangeable with "call", incidentally. (I'm in the Liverpool City Region of Northwest England)

@corta24 LOL 🤣 I don't read Japanese so I can't say whether it is simply a bad translation!
