"and a Cold Corner is the result of exchanging one warm sixpack from the carton for a cold one (if the bottle shop attendant will be in it) "

Good one, I have learned something else today, thanks


You are right about spoken and written language, it is changing and we all need to move with it as it is the common useage that determines the meaning, spelling and pronunciation, like it or not.

if things did not develop we would all still be grunting at each other and a plane would be an Urk, or a (raspberry noise), exactly as the wrights named it a hundred or so years ago.
