What's your occupation?

Just one more flog? "Each to their own" is quite correct. the Oxford dictionary states: their - poss. pron. - as a third person singular indefinite, meaning 'his or her' - e.g. has anyone lost their keys?

'Each to her own' is correct.

No.  It's not any more correct than "each to their own."

I simply said 'each to her own' is correct. It is. In view of the argument in the other thread I was careful not to say that 'each to their own' is incorrect; I simply stated my preference. Please read the post properly before criticizing.

"I simply said 'each to her own' is correct" is not at all equivalent to "I simply stated my preference."

Never!  It's more fun this way.

Presactly my thought, Gaye!  Curmudgeon Corner would be an idea for a new thread!

Now we would be fighting for top spot in that thread!

Oh my! Haven't been on here since October and then 'walk' into such an entertaining thread!
Hello all my old friends 'waves'....
Going back to the original topic - I always worked in Childcare until I had a complete change of career when I moved back down south from Scotland 4 and a half years ago and became a contracts administrator for a waste management company!!

[birdy]

Hard to imagine what skills you carried over from the old job to the new - wait, waste management?  Do diapers/nappies count?   

[jane@manutd]

Lol @ Birdy! Thanks hun, I can see the link there! However I work for Shanks - largest independant Waste Management co in UK. We deal with multi million pound contracts but I might start a new line in thinking for them regarding the disposal of said nappies etc!!
How have you been?

[birdy]

Have been good - busy, so popping in to the forum more often than being able to play Chihuahua - and when I do, it's for such a short time that I don't even bother signing in but play as Anonymous.
Glad to see you back!

[jane@manutd]

Thanks hun, I'm a bit the same as you, sooooo busy, hard to spend time actually doing the puzzles. Will be trying though as need to keep the old brain cells active! Lol!!
Thanks for the 'welcome back'
Jane
