Question on English Language to British Members

Personally, I have a hard time using "they" in this instance. In fact, it would grate less on my nerves than using "he/she" anyday. This is similar to another incorrect usage of singular vs. plural pronouns and their verbs: "...one out of three American and British men enjoy seeing Angelina Jolie naked..." as opposed to the correct "...one out of three American and British men enjoys seeing Angelina Jolie naked..."I...what was I saying again?Have a good one.

This is way off topic, but I've known a fair number of firefighting madames, and in my experience, if the definition of topless doesn't include brown bag on head then I'm not with ya.Just sayin'.Have a good one.

Anyone ever read Orwell's 1984? In it, he wrote about a principle called "Newspeak", which served to eliminate portions of the English language considered unneeded or redundant.See here: http://www.newspeakdictionary.com/ns-prin.htmlIn Orwell's dystopia, this: becomes this: Now I'm not advocating the demise of democracy in order to use "knife" to replace all synonyms of the word "cut". But I agree with Bluejay on this point. Much of what we speak is useless trash which does nothing to further the understanding of the English language.I do, however, like the idea of the "2 Minutes Hate." Big Brother's got something there. Have a good one.

Australia? You only need go so far as Minnesota to get that.Ok, have a good one, then?p.s. My 7yo was down here and loves your Fett avatar. No disintegrations.
