Now you've defined what you choose to call "correct English." Thank you. On the other hand, you say, "Correct Canadian usage is UK English..." Do you know who made that so? Was that by choice? Or by edict? Or by tradition? Just curious. The stuff we Americans were speaking and writing when the country was first formed was just this side of decipherable, let alone capable of being identified as deriving from any particular countries way of speaking! Thanks have sure changed over the last 400 years, haven't they? Best regards, keith whaley -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
