Seriously,
fellows, you can get it out of your system just by voting on Tuesday.

Hi Tom,

DOING better than that. I got myself involved, been working 70 hour
weeks for a month, helped register 2800 voters, and collected about
100 ballots BEFORE November 2nd. And then there is Poll Watching to
be done ON the 2nd.


Why can't you Mercans realise you only have ONE ballot for the
president. And it can't be 'cast', it can only be held.

Unfortunately, the interchangeability of 'ballot' and 'vote' has now
entered BBC English.

We Limeys have a lot the thank Uncle Sam for, but not, sadly, your
despoilation of our language (and your present President, of course).

Sorry, I just HAD to complain.
Cheers,
Ian.
