OK, quick quiz. SS, glueman, Rifleman, whoever (you know who you are): complete the following sentence.

I don't mind people using the word 'folk' in lots of different ways because:

(a) I don't care how people use the word 'folk'.

(b) I think it's a good thing that people use the word 'folk' in lots of different ways.

or

(c) I think it's a good thing that people use the word 'folk' in the ways that they use it.

Anyone?

Phrasing the same question in three different ways...Your point is what exactly?

Me a gun nut...hardly. Mr Phil Beer picked up on the Rifleman allusion sometime back, so that's old news, somewhat like this pointless 1954 definition.
