Granting I may not be fully au fait with the way our language is currently developing in the Americas, but would anyone care to comment on Mr. Wood's use of 'ingratiate' and 'reference' in an interview I was sent on his life post-LotR.

Explaining the plot of a forthcoming film:

>>After being kicked out of college, he goes to visit his sister in England whose brother-in-law is involved in this firm that is associated with or are fans of a specific team, and I get kind of ingratiated into that particular firm.<<

When asked about whether he felt he'd grown up during the making of LotR (bloody cheeky question if you ask me, but never mind):

>>It's difficult to articulate how I've changed. Other people around me would be better at referencing that.<<
