I'm with you all the way. I'm not even sure who, if anyone, is actually fighting. I'm certainly not. It's been my impression that most of the exchanges concering that particular word have been fairly light hearted. Having what my dear old gran used to call a "wicked" sense of humour, which has landed me in trouble more than once in the past, I even ended my contribution to the debate with the words "With tongue firmly in cheek" just to make sure that no-one would take it seriously. Despite this a perception has developed that an argument is raging. Once more my sense of humour drops me in it. But it's the same sense of humour that keeps me going so I suppose I'll just have to live with it. I shall however endevour not to impose it on the list in future. Which is going to be tough 'cause it's foreign to my nature. (Gee - that didn't last long) Dennis.
