Or rather, Churchill. ...'None' is right, I suppose. Or rather, Churchill. After all, it's their language. Still, its agonizing when you *know* it ought to corrected.

dunno if u've heard this one b4:
Churchil...shyam,<br />dunno if u've heard this one b4:<br /><br /> Churchill once used the word `Triphibian' to describe the three-pronged nature of the Allied attacks during the Second World War.<br /> V.S. Srinivasa Sastri though it fit to correct his English, pointing out that the word should be Tribian, because 'amphi' stood for two and 'tri' for three. <br /> Aparrently Churchill wrote back saying, never mind what is right. What the English speak is English! :)<br /><br />cheers!Houseownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114805826956961985noreply@blogger.com
