Boys, boys, boys. That's one of the things I like most about this list is
the
subtle differences in the language. ( You say potato, I say potato) I
could
give a dog's bollocks about which is right. Truth is both and neither is
right.
They are just equally valid but different ways of conveying an idea and
doing so in a variety of ways retains a freshness that is enlightening and
interesting.
As the French say "Vive la Différence." (Of course they were refering to
something else all together.)
Cheers and see ya.
