   Jim de Graff, I’m also sensitive on language (I’ve got my tee-shirt, “I am the grammarian about whom your mother warned you”). However, in reading history of the English language, it occurred to me that I have lived long enough (lucky me) to observe further evolution of the language in action. It’s not a great vowel shift; it’s “they” as neuter singular pronoun and “lie/lay/laid” gone - but there’s no point in flinging myself under the wheel of change, and I’m trying to spare my gastric juices.
