O.K. folks, I just have to vent. Been listenin' to a lot of CNN and

NPR,
and if I hear another journalist mis-use the word "whether", by

saying
whether or not- I will scream!!! Aren't these folks supposed to

know
better?!


A word of advice; unless you REALLY like to mix it up, it's best to
avoid matters concerning proper English usage. People WILL disagree,
and strenuously, whether they know whereof they speak or not.


Touché
Wolfgang, can I ask whether you have received the package or not?
It left Sweden the on the 11th of December.
