Did not know that! Then neither did anybody else, so I don't feel too bad. Nice to see Dowly wasn't offended and took to the name like a ferret to lingerie.

Blimey, 45 posts already, you'll be challenging Jim and ______ soon!

Hi Niccolo, nice to have you here. I am always glad to meet some people with a good sense of humour here...

@ Steve, it's not my mother tongue, but shouldn't it be:

"Not to worry. Frau K has only been here FOR* two years and she's long since become part of the furniture." ?

*Or is it British English only?

You're probably right. I conducted a fairly intensive online search, and though "been here two years" is considered acceptable, "been here for two years" is considered more formal and more proper, so I probably should have used that form. Unfortunately all my books on writing are in my storage, so I can't look in them.

On the other hand language changes daily. On of the things that makes me angry is the use of "impact" as a verb: "How will this impact the the community" when affect is the proper term. That said, the use of "impact" as a verb is so common these days that dictionaries now include it in that context.

So maybe American English has changed enough that it's acceptable not to use "for" in that context, or maybe I'm just wrong again.

Steve, thank you so much for clarifying the grammar. But I was just kidding - like the Frau K. was -. I thought that the picture of that nice young Nicole was too much - and you simply were - speechless - for a moment.

Like me.


So please never mind!

Well, he's back and missed out this thread so far, but then there's been no sign of OP recently either - who scared her off?

I deny any involvement.

Especially the ferret mating ritual I may or may have not performed behind her window.

@Dowly - that is one of the best sites I've ever visited. Couldn't help but knock up a quick one myself, just found some old picture on my drive...
