Very amusing thread guys.
I, being of the 'very old school brigade', find that the, so called 'new way' of talking/speaking/writing, is irritating to say the least.
Thank you Kearn, for a most enjoyable way in which to highlight that fact.
If I may tho., I have 'learned to live with (some) of it'! Tis a bit hard to 'go against the flow', once it has started, without a very large piece of 4" X 2" in hand. I think you/we just have to grin n bear it.

Thanks guys. I can now get up off the floor & dry my eyes.

Regards, L
