Black Bandit,

I'm perfectly happy with the dictionaries from Webster and Oxford etc that I have. I have no need to buy any more.

I'm also perfectly happy, having conferred with an academic colleague who has amongst other credentials an English teaching position, that my post relating to "et al" is correct.

His comment: "The linking by the use of "et al" of the 369 post to the writings of others sharing the same sentiments as the writer of 369 is both contextually and grammatically correct." I think that puts that to bed, unless of course you are better credentialled.

It must be an interesting story as to why you dislike Our Airline so much. Your enmity is very apparent and it would be a Sisyphean task to get you to write something useful and purposeful.

I'm not surprised others are choosing to ignore you. During my post-prandial ruminations later I will probably decide to do the same.
