Says who?

And does over time. It used to take a long time, but I think the
internets and SMS speech will see this accelerating at one hell of a
rate.

Yep - try talking to generation Y and I think you'll see where it
heading.

"The usage of particular words". Umm, if that isn't grammar, I don't
know what is.

Those who teach English, presumably.

Changing the subject a little. All the research I've done to date suggests a
very high satisfaction rate with the Bullet. The only issues that tends to
come up is some initial running in niggles (eg. critical to run the engine
in correctly and some initial niggles with electrics).

Looking at the used market (globally), many seem to be reasonably low
mileage. The downside is that not many are for sale, which may suggest that
even with their low sales volume they tend to be kept for long periods.
