	But how?  You could quote something from a book, but these days I
could write a book and say pretty much anything in it whether it was true
or not.  I could write a book and include the type of hip lingo that is
now typically used in movies, magazines, on television, and on the radio 
-- and I could present it as "current" because the media has such an
effect on society.  You could select specific texts that an English prof. 
once used at a college local to you and declare *that* proper English, but
unless it is currently being taught as the socially acceptable term, it
is not current.  That is what I was taught in highschool a year and a half
ago by my English teacher, (who was, incidentally, at the time a student 
at our local university, enrolled in Women's Studies where it was
impressed upon her the importance of following P.C. requirements in this 
modern age).

	But that is just my understanding of how it is.  (:>  Hm!  Guess
that that is my contributed research!  [**wink-wink**]  What is acceptable
may be different where you are.  That is entirely possible.
