>what's the difference between a duck?
tsuwm:
You have reminded me of one of my pet peeves in journalism, the misuse of "between." "The bullet missed the policeman and lodged between the wall." I have been known to call the reporter, ask him to get his editor on the line with us, and then scream, "Between the wall and WHAT, you idiot?"
Also, since the bullet missed, who cares a rat's patoot where it ended up?
