>Sorry if part of this post is, as we say, 'teaching my grandmother to suck

We have confusion between linguists and non-linguists; now we have it between
American and Commonwealth speakers of English... Am I the only American who
has no idea what "...teaching my grandmother to suck eggs' means ?? John,
could you clarify ??
>but in places this discussion has seemed to me to be terminologically
>confusing.....ETC... <snip>
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who got lost in the ambiguous
use of terminology...
