I think you're right. This is one of those cases where we're in a transitionary period of usage. Maybe we should form the Silicon Investor Language Association to make some definitive rules regarding usage. Of course, having said that, I'll have to defer on most linguistic and grammatic topics to those posters on this thread who are obviously more grammatically endowed than I. In spite of the fact that uncertainty really annoys me, situations such as this are truly one of the assets of our language. It is incredibly flexible. I only wish we would have followed everyone else in noun placement. This adjectives preceding the noun concept is overrated. Gary

Just gotta add my two cents. I can't believe a thread like this!! As long as everyone, or most everyone understands what the other is talking about. Whats the problem? If you lived up here in the UP of Michigan you'd all have a fit, just the way we talk.Much less write!!We don't pretend to be anything other than what we are and will write the way we talk. When the state came out with there slogan," Say yes to Michigan", we got our own that say's, Say ya to the UP to,hey?
