Good Grief guys and gruneons has it escaped your notice that we here speak new age english and that all of our words are in a state of progressive transition?
Gee whiz daddios don't you know that americanized english tilts the tad when it comes to usage and that noone cares nomore aboot what was once proper french.

Do we say "Secretary de de fense?
Does Cole Porter not say "It's delovely"
Does not De Camptown Ladies Sing Dis Song- Doo-Dah?

Does not JACKIE owe those of us here who missed her badly a thousand kisses and a thousand posts?
I'm not de best of thinkers but I think that de answer is YES.

Glad you're back Queen Jack ! - -
