It was a general suggestion within a particular context and not directed at you Democritus. Originally Posted by Democritus

Neatly evaded!
As you indirectly showed, C_C could have corrected Toffeewrapper1's use of "might", but missed his chance and chose instead to 'incorrect', so to speak, his entirely proper (and preferable) adverbial use of 'wrong'. (For the benefit of any doubters, I recommend the OED or any other good dictionary and - especially - Fowler (the true 'Bible', IMO), who has a specific entry on this very word.) But it would be a shame to see a generally amusing and light-hearted thread deteriorate into a p*****g contest. G'night, all.The man o' independent mind,
