Thanks Lang, I'm relieved to hear it's still a crane in Australia, it's not easy being an international pedant!

I think we should assign this case to Oberinspektor Derrick!

He would find this discussion sehr erhebend

My wife, who can be a bit of a shackle but is still a comely winch, while craning over my computer, said although I slew Richard's argument I should not become hooked on making jibs at Englishmen. Derrick had his name roped in on this lifting deal and Richard has a long line of history to balance his argument.

Hanno, it is a good language but some of the colonies have distorted it over the years

Joking aside, it can lead to the odd misunderstanding.

Lang, I enjoyed your little literacy piece.

regards, Richard

Default Groan!

Where's the Groan icon to deal with those who are a 'poet but don't know it'?
