John - might I suggest you try the alt.english.usage newsgroup?

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=alt.english.usage

You're likely to get much higher quality (and quantity) of responses there
(for this particular topic) than on plug. Not that I'm meaning to malign
anyone's responses here :), just that the people frequenting that newsgroup
tend to be rather more... um... obsessive about appropriate and correct
English usage.

Whereas the denizens of this mailing list tend to be obsessed about
sensible things, like Linux. Correct use of English is usually be waaaay
down the list of stuff to worry about.... (as can be seen from most posts
to this list on any random day :-)
