Message: [QUOTE="veivoli, post: 5303283, member: 14073"] No! Now the discussion will turn to the grocer's apostrophe!! [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/jul/08/books.booksnews[/URL] And the second sentence h that article references another of my pet hates: diffuse/defuse. And don't get me started on people conflating imply and infer... BTW, I come from a country where we use, to the most part, the King's English (the language formerly known as the Queen's English). When I was in the States people often though I was English*, although I live almost as far as physically possible from the Mother Country! * Apparently a US student expressed surprise that people in the UK spoke English. She said "I thought they would have their own language." [/QUOTE]
