Which dictionary? So if you consult an American dictionary you would start calling fringes "bangs"? YUCK and BIG SPIT. They are not "movies", but "films". 'Films' is increasingly becoming an anachronism in these days of virtually ubiquitous CGI. Don't get me started at the misuse of the singular and plural cases of verbs when discussing singular entities. For example, "the Conservative Party are...", WRONG! Fowler disagrees. I feel better now. Thanks Gareth for providing a thread in which I can vent my spleen. |
