Subject: RE: BS: The most pertinacious errors
Exactly ~ thanks Dave. See, Bonnie? I knew you meant Shax; but "often have you heard that told" ~ Will was admitting he was quoting, not coining ~ a standard traditional proverb in which 'glitter' could appear as well as 'glister'. So those who say "All that glitters is not gold" do not necessarily purport to be quoting Shax.
