<giggle>....now that is a nice English lesson. When I went to school,
we used to have and English teacher who taught what was/and still is
called the "Queens English". Then later we came to know of the
"American English" but in both cases someone ended up being right,
except for the final college exams when you had to get everything
right - the Queen's English. I am sure my English teacher would be
thoroughly ashamed of me for having used an 'inappropriate' word.
Still I do have justification - like Clinton did-- You know what I mean?
