Dyed-in-the-wool. Gosh, that irritates me in the most irrational fashion. Not as badly as "click" or "peeked" though. :twisted: |
Wow, I did that on a thesis once too. My prof burst a gasket. I guess that error is just d----I mean,
completely ingrained.

Right. And there was so much expectation leadiong up to it that people were preconditioned to hate it before it ever aired, so all the goofiness -- which is actually very Who -- just confirmed their preconceptions. But at the same time, even without the 15-year lacuna, this I-hate-this-Doctor stuff seems very mid-80s to me, and the 80s Doctors have undergone a considerable rehabilitation (thanks in large part to Big Finish *hats off*).
