The word Thrice has always been underused in my opinion. | | | |

'on time ' has died out in favour of 'within 10 minutes of the scheduled time at an undetermined point somewhere outside of the station' | |

I still suggest videoing stuff we want to watch later. My kids are similarly bemused/amused. I still use 'fewer' correctly, but do realise that it really doesn't matter. I find it hard to believe that there are grown ups with their own children that will never have called anyone a Joey as an insult, although in hindsight that's probably a good thing. | |
