	This is a chicken/egg kinda situation.  They write it like that because
that's how people speak because they write it like that because that's
how people speak because...  It's like the decline of humor over the
last 20 or so years.  "Funny" has become nothing but gross, tasteless &
disgusting.  And every time I think it can't get any worse, it does.

OT: TV Shows.

	I really like CSI, too, but haven't been able to get into the Miami &
NY versions.  It's the same with Law and Order.
