Sadly, there is an awful lot about, particularly from those in Westminster and the media...

Unfortunately I can make no comment regarding Latin, but the oft repeated spelling of peddle when the noun is pedal (e.g. brake pedal - and I mean brake pedal, not break pedal, unless of course it is a pedal that has been broken...).
OK, time to getcoat 'cos my English usage has deteriorated over the years... grin2

Graham, in this instance "Personally" emphasises rather than duplicates the "I" so there is no tautology.

I can well understand your irritation when "peddle" is used instead of "pedal". My own bête noire is when "loosing" is used instead of "losing".
