>>The song "Moonlight Shadow"P: " ... four AM in the morning / carried along by a moonlight shadow": if only she'd sung "four o'clock in the morning" which scans just as well.

>Still a notch better than adding a "now" at the end of each line which would otherwise end a syllable short. A practice I equal with bad craftsmanship, just like using do while !eof() where scan/endscan would do perfectly. Specially hate it in my own language, where I've heard it too often, and where they have so many more words available ;). (true - with the looser structure of the sentence, and words changing forms, it's so much easier to find rhyming words)

>>"... in this ever-changing world in which we live in" uses "in which" to avoid putting the preposition at the end of the sentence ... then he up and puts it there anyway!

>Does he? I heard it as "in which we're living". Good for me I wasn't paying attention... how much would it have cost, anyway?
