Re: floor

Ah, but that is the beauty of the living language that adapts and changes.
Such a shame that the changes are imposed by people who do not speak their language correctly in the first place.

floor

The use of the word floor instead of ground is an increasing misuse in written English. Floor is a constructed element while ground is an outdoors term that covers streets as well as sidewalks which would be the correct term unless this is all happening indoors.

About Damn Time

In Hull, The council have been using CCTV for litter louts and people drinking alcohol to catch and fine them.

Over the last year they where used for the above reasons and reports from the local paper about assaults on weekends nights out the CCTV wasn't working.

I swear I have never seen a camera on a night out turn or maybe passing more than once be in a different position. Many a time I've seen them pointing up in the sky bird spoting or something.

Probably try to catch a person hand gliding and seeing if he is smoking.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
