'STRICTLY COME DRINKING'...he obviously didn't see the Oz Clarke and James May programme then.
And, years ago there was a programme on Channel 4, I think, where Jools Holland took Rowland Rivron out with the sole intention of getting him pissed. Brilliant!

Which surely suggests that citing google as a reflection of acceptable usage of grammar is somewhat hit and miss? (Which is going back a wee bit in this thread but, well, it is something of a meandering one.) I'm sure those of you who have grown up in the computer generation think it second nature t...

Just did a google search on Ask The Family's Robert Robinson, which turns up nearly 500,000 hits. But also 'Ask The Family's Robert Robertson' turns up over 100,000. Let's hope Robert isn't such an old ludite as to want to 'cling on' to his actual name under mounting google pressure to be known by ...

Ok, well perhaps the ODE will see fit to change their 'usage notes' under the entry for 'bored'. While they're at it perhaps they'll change the definition of 'black' and 'white' ;) It's interesting how strongly people cling to what they were taught as a child. Even those old codgers at the ODE were...

Yeah, and she played her game weeks ago. Not 'tomorrow'.

Apparently the google hits jumped up due to the number of hits on 'Bored of the Rings', a title which was obviously intended as a pun rather than an indication of common grammatical usage of 'bored of'.

It's 'bored with' not 'bored of'. Why? I ran into a "bored of" diatribe the other day. If you can be "tired of" something, what's the problem with "bored of"? Yes, indeed, 'tired of' is correct. Despite increasing usage, 'bored of' still isn't recognised as Standard En...
