Nah, I luvs ya really 😛
Actually, wot cynic-al said about “of” instead of “have”. I have, horror of horrors, heard reporters on 5Live (yes, actual BBC reporters) using “of” instead of “have”. I was going to text in and then thought, nah, it’s ok, masty fanny will do it for me 🙂
Honest question: Has “their” become accepted now when saying something like “Everybody has their reasons” instead of the clumsy sounding “Everybody has his or her reasons” which I say? Or should one just say “Everybody has his reasons” – is this sexist? 8)
I’m not keen on the over-use of adverbs either. They are for the grammatically disadvantaged.
