it really winds me up -
how do i resolve this - i've left it far too late to just casually tell him he is constantly using the wrong word, he'll be both embarrassed by his error (compounded by years of misuse) and confused as to why i haven't mentioned this both.
he may even believe i have been laughing at him behind his back!

what a pickle!!!!!

if there is anyone who can help, it is surely the kind contributors to drownedinsound.com
