I heard some plonker politico use it on the radio this morning. I thought 
wtf, there is no such word except in the perverted world of US English. So 
having dragged myself out of my pit, always a problem on Saturday mornings, 
I looked it up. JHC, it is a word, an English word to boot! I must be living 
in a time warp. There is no way my English Grammar teacher would have 
allowed me to use a word like "automaticity". I'm dumping the OE dictionary 
forthwith! Might as well go to Webster and start using words like "color", 
labor", etc.

Even the proms, last night of, is crap so far tonight!

Hmmm I've been watching the Proms, not impressed although that pianist 
(lady) was superb, mind you I'm in awe of anyone who plays the piano (that 
well!).
