Cheers, bigjeff5. My comment was deliberately inflammatory and I apologize for it. The very idea of "correct English" makes me suspend rational thought.

My own background is complicated, but my mother's father was a Sheffield Irish steelworker and him (sic) and his wife cared very much about all that sort of thing.

I wrote a bit of a rant about it here:

In case anyone likes rants.
