Have I missed something? Recently, I have seen and heard the phrase "two times" used an awful lot. My grandparents, prescriptive pair that they were, repeatedly told me, "it's twice, not two times", and that doesn't even touch on how poor Lionel Ritchie would have been hurt if he hadn't used "twice". Is this another example of the inexorable tide of change washing away the rules held dear by this old-at-heart thirty-three year old?
