Re^2: Theory vs. Reality

ysth,
Nit: the common phrase is "please me no end"...

Did you intend to use the word common or did you mean to imply "more accurate"? I ask because I have always heard it please me to no end as well. I asked Google Fight which agreed. So while your correction is more accurate, I am not sure it is more common.

Cheers - L~R

I meant common; I'd never heard "to no end". I'm looking for a job.	[reply]

ysth, It might be a regional thing (I am from Maine). A mistake ends up becoming more prevalent. A while back at work, "fat finger" began to mean "data entry" rather than a typo due to a PHB misunderstanding but using the phrase quite often. Cheers - L~R	[reply]
