Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm with macca - the american misuse of 'momentarily' drives me nuts...almost as much as the (mostly British) inappropriate use of 'myself'

Americanisms generally. I think I'm the only one in my office who says schedule correctly and not Skedule like an American.

I regularly ask my American colleagues whether they mean 'in a moment' or 'for a moment' but I fear the irony is wasted on them.

Oh and 'meet with' ?? you can't meet without you muppets

Oh good OB - I hate mispronouncing things.

I dislike "try and..." instead of "try to..."
