    I work in IT for a Spanish Bank and all day we are surrounded by Spanish colleagues most of who speak excellent English.

    One guy however is a pain and I overheard someone telling him he could improve his English by mass-debating (think about it) a new word into his conversation every day.:rotfl:

    Loving that one!!

    I used to have a really annoying colleague who one day moaned at me that the Oxford English dictionary had been re-written and they had started including split infinitives like pic-nic etc which he thought was totally wrong. Anyway he droned on at me about it for hours. After a while, thoroughly fed up with him (now I know I should not have said this!) but I asked him if d**k head was a split infinitive!
