If only we could be as well learned in the English language as Mr Orton... Life would most definitely be richer and I could preach at the lowly people who make mistakes in their efforts to speak and write.
I'm sure there is a redundant word in here somewhere, which I will absolutely expect to be questioned on. Perhaps even ridiculed on a public forum.
Feel free to have the thread to yourself Robin. You can muse over the language you hold so dear, without interruption from those of us clearly so inferior.
