    When I was learning Swedish the first piece of advice I as given was "f*** the grammar, just make yourself understood".
    Needless to say this lesson was not in language school, but in a boozer.  It's amazing what you learn in pubs over there!

    When I did paper rounds, it was always paperboys and papergirls.

    None of us had any problem with that.

    I agree and myself still use the term, I was just highlighting the madness of PC.
