> that's really a pretty common usage. and, I suppose, once you've gotten your message across, it then becomes a matter of keeping it across.
Oh, now I get it, keep across. It's a bit of a mixture of 'keep abreast' and 'get across', huh.
Regarding the BBC World Service: As much as I enjoy it, they should really have some more native speakers on I think, or at least people with a better command of the language. Of course it's good in a way that they are so inclusive and I welcome the fact that they have relaxed former RP standards, but I'm beginning to think of it as a foreign language channel. "Dis iz da Bee Bee See".
