I thought language doesn't follow logic? If something is correct in language it does not logically follow that the oposite is incorrect. So your assumtion that if something is not in the OED it is therefor incorrect, by nature of non statiticity in language, is wrong. As I said before language would be static and die if it's use applied to your rules. Sonja _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
