What about Courts Marital ? That's three life sentences. Worst still is the punishment for bigamy...two mothers-in-law, or is it mother-in-laws, or mothers-in-laws... |

I’m not sure that I give a fig about the ‘correct’ way I leave it to others to make themselves feel good about how marvellous they are at English Grammar. I was dragged up and still remember stuff from over fifty years ago that I’ve not used in this lifetime so why did they drum the stuff into us ?
