Thanks for the link. I may regret it. Jean, if you are still sending the PMs, it's not really reasonable to make it Nick's fault for keeping opening them. I'm not blaming him for opening them - I'm blaming him for blaming me for making him open them. Now it all makes perfect sense.

What are you talking about? Is this some "fluffy" terminology I'm not familiar with? I'm simply pointing out that the last time I knew, which is about five years ago, the national broadcasting organisation of this country, of this language around the world, has as its official policy the appropriate use of the form "whom". The Telegraph uses it as a matter of course, as does The Times. I have even seen Mr.Rosen use it. So if it is obsolescent, which I doubt, it's got some way to go yet.
Hardly, she's not that bad.

By all means, feel free to quote these very rude things I've supposedly sent you Jean. You've piqued my curiosity now. Don't worry, I've promised not to reciprocate. I trust you to provide the context though, the passages I'm responding to!
Or I know - let's just drop the whole thing, shall we?

I don't know what you're on about. I was talking about the piece of your text which I quoted.

Nick, there's a question for you here www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbradio4/F2766781?thread=7208203that I hope you won't miss, because the thread has gone over the page now, and David and Douglas are arguing with each other and have forgotten about you (but I haven't).
