The Little Things'Hullo chaps', bellows Richard McBeef, of 'the internet' fame. My boss has managed to make 'shown' into a two syllable word and it drives me round the fucking bend.

I can't even fall back on the defence that grammar does and ought only to reflect use.I'm too much of a prescriptivist for that.
Darn it.
