Grammar grumble
Things that have been bugging me recently :
- since when has wonder become synonymous with wander? I ran in to this AGAIN today for about the 6th time! One author really liked this word and used it about 25 times in a 10 page story! "He wondered into the room" is just WRONG!
- what is up with was + sat? The sentence "He was sat on the bench. " Is jarring to me. Shouldn't it be "He was sitting on the bench." Is this a britishim that I am unaware of? I only see it in Torchwood fic, but that is also the first primarily british fandom I have followed...
