I must admit that when I talk I do use both, but, just like fly mentioned I do look out for overuse.<BR/><BR/>T, you're not the only 'linguistic hypocrite'. I am guilty of the same sin. I insist that my children try to use as varied a vocabulary as there is (despite the fact that one is ten and the other one is only seven) but then I commit the same fault I charged them with moments before.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments.<BR/><BR/>Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-20181671062300546282008-09-23T04:40:00.000+01:002008-09-23T04:40:00.000+01:00*laughing* Guilty as charged!
