Blah, blah, blah.... 1) Personally, I would say not only "on the one hand...on the other," but also "the one and the other." I suspect this is not a question of correct/incorrect grammar so much as of common/uncommon usage. 2) What? "He -- and ONLY he -- is in the room." Why "are"? jbe Thread Natural MOMMY (There -- the secret's out!)

I also have a query (about acronyms) for the thread. I need a glossary for all the acronyms I run across on SI. For example: LOL (Laugh Out Loud? If that's it, I prefer hahahahahaha.) VBG ROFLMAO (or something like that) Are these common, or in-group, acronyms? And, speaking of in-group stuff, I personally don't like "taht" for "that." I know it's deliberate, but still..... jbe
