>>Anther pet-peez is when people over use pro-nouns in a introductory sentence. My wife is bad about this. She say something like; "She went there and picked it up and brought it back." The sentence make not sence at all unless you already know who "She" is, what "It" is, and where "There" is. Generally she does privilage me this before hand, leave me standing scrating head.

>Yeah, I've got a friend that does something similar. An example is the time he met someone in the parking lot of the apartment complex where we lived when we were batchelors and roomies way back in the last century. He walks in and says "I was talking to Tom and Brenda and they said . . ." Wait, who the heck are these people? I'd never met them and he had just met them. There was no "I just met this couple in the parking lot named Tom and Brenda and they said . . ." introductory statement. He tends to do things like that and my wife does that sometimes, too.

Oh, I see you know then.
