agreed - ever since this was pointed out to me by mr. bill bryson in his incomporable book troublesome words the ql phrase has become a source of irritation and mirth for me. the older i get the more i realise how mangled the english langwidge is for common usage and you may as well enrol in advanced cat-herding 501 for all the good it will do you pointing this stuff out to people. btw - iana (i am not anal).

respeck, Anto
