Re: IML: Imperial carpet

Kandkoyen,

You needn't be apologetic re: your "input" on others' use of the English language.  In fact, I'm looking forward to reading Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, a book written by a person just like you.  When telling people about my new 1957 Crown, I, too, have been referring to the excellent condition of the "carpet".  Now I'm enlightened and will not repeat this mistake.  Thanks.

Spending the last couple of months reading e-mails from this most-appreciated group and adding it to what I hear and over-hear on a daily basis (not to mention the fact that in most news-papers today including our own Star and Sickle, one would swear that the average "journalist" writing today had never taken a class in English grammar) has me ranting up-and-down the room and throwing things.Everytime I hear a broad-caster say "negossiation" instead of the correct "negotiation" (nee go shee ay shun) I start muttering about the complete break-down and imminent loss of the English language I love.
