The horrible thing is the guy that informed me of this had English as
his third or fourth of something like seven languages. Yet he knew
English better than I ever will. Worst of all, when I would complain
about some inconsistency, his response was simply "Mr. McKenney, it is
your language, not mine!" ;-)
