that would be used for 'in formation', presumably :)

[incidentally, I have twice heard 'formated' or equivalent disallowed on Countdown. 'Formate' is OK as a salt of formic acid, but the aviation verb and hence inflected forms thereof are not recognised by the version of OED which they use]

Good enough for Susie Dent is good enough for me . I bet Susie wouldn't acknowledge "infomation" either !

The "can I get" generation strikes again... :evil:
