Thanks for that. I recall having read about this problem, but you
don't normally take in the theory until the issue happens to hit
personally.

BTW having read the emails, I notice that BBC English now not only
includes "action the issue" but they've even invented  a new version
of the past tense of the verb "to broadcast": it's "we broadcasted".
Who said that texting was shrinking the length of words?  8-)
