Hey thanks boys, I really enjoyed that little interchange :>) :>).
Thank you for indulging my "pet peeves", and I was really quite
suprised at who else objected to solecisms such as the ones I
mentioned ... and "utilise" is such as dreaful word... like "ongoing"
(continuing or under way) and "proactive" (active).
Oh, oh... there I go again. Sorry!
Cheers
Chris

Actually I have too pet peeves. One is Utilize. Why not just Use????? The
other is ensure vs. insure. If you didn't pay a premium, then you didn't
insure it.
