It has nothing to do with age - it has to do with what language is being spoken at the moment in English speaking countries- and because of the internet -
there is no such thing as American or British or New Zealand or Canadian or Australian ears - the world is a smaller place - it �s gone "global" and we hear English being spoken from all over the world now.
And by the way - I live in Europe and am often in London.
I understand that people need to use reference books for answers, but you also must understand that the living language moves and develops at a very fast rate today and books are almost out of date before they are published.

Besides that, libertybelle, reference books are fading away, in favor of internet research. I am very sad that the new generation won �t know the fun of browsing through some of the wonderful books in my collection.

Hi, Bruce. I �m a bookworm myself, too. But I have to say the trees say �thank you �! If we have �that many � books people used to have, at this rate of people.... I guess you can see where I �m going!!!

Hugs, Bruna.

Indeed, Bruna, and I �m very happy to report that most of my reference books, and a large part of my library, are books that I bought already used, so I benefitted from someone else �s purchases.
