For anyone interested : The books by Andrew Greeley SJ featuring Bishop "Blackie" Ryan are rife with that cleric's use of "arguably." Really good reads for mystery lovers but if you hate arguably read at your peril.
This drives me crazy : "Do you mind me taking the car today?" when it should be "Do you mind my taking the car today?"
It's those "-ing" words that cause the trouble.
Off with their heads!
And if you think I am totally off the mark here, well, I don't care. It's my birthday and I'll think what I want. So there!
