Re: [IRCA] Champing at the bit

["Ira Elbert New, III" <ien3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

     However, chomp is an acceptable dialect of champ. I found that both are 
acceptable, with a slight nod given to champ.

     I tend to throw things. However, I never throw things from horses while 
in midstream. But that's a fat lady of another color.

     Now...what do you call your evening meal? =0

OK - thanks for the correction. Point well taken. I guess since so few of us
spend time around horses like our ancestors did, we should be more careful
about using their expressions (ancestors OR horses). Kind of like people who
either "chuck" or "chunk" things out the window! Ain't English a wonderful
language? 73s,

I misspelled Colombia a while ago as Columbia and was taken to task so here
is my correction of a misused phrase: Champing at the bit, not chomping at
the bit, although this error seems to be used very widely and is getting
more and more common. Just had to show that I'm not semiliterate I guess,
