Hmmmm. I see. I guess Edwarda thinks producers are very strict grammarians. I thought they only wanted to get laid. ;-) Actually, if she was being correct, she should have directed the producer, not moi, to go the the SI Spelling and Grammar thread. (or should it be, "if she were being correct"? All this energy directed to grammar diminishes the energy available for definitions, eh?)

Oh my God, I see I wrote, "their is no difference," instead of "there is no difference"! I am so glad I got here before Edwarda!!! Whew, that was a close one....

<In other words, that there [;-)] is no difference in meaning between the two following sentences:

"Which one of you is Cher?"

and

"Which of you is Cher?">

***
Could they both be wrong? Judging from what I read in the National Enquirer, shouldn't it be, "Witch is Cher."
