<nod> I wasn't asserting that you were wrong, only that the user to whom I replied that implied the author of the article used it incorrectly was wrong in his assertion.

Yeah, but so is 'kilt'.

In the US, we consider that poor grammar, as in: "I done did kilt three of 'em skeeters on me yesterday."

OK, maybe yours is a noun, but still!
