Mike, I am glad to know someone else has heard the term used in the way I knew about. I haven't used the word in a long time. Some colloquialisms you like and some you don't. Ditto is one I just don't care for. I just don't like the sound of it for some reason. <smile> Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Pietruk" <pietruk@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 4:15 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Thank You and I'm sort of Back Sue I think we have Rush Limbaugh to thank for the new meaning of ditto as a term of agreement. At least, that's how I now use the term even though, now that you brought it up, its original meaning was "of little importance." Funny how words begin taking a new life of their own thanks to a pop culture icon.
