But in the example you cited, you'd lose a bit of flavor, a lot of emphasis (as anonymous pointed out), and depending on the situation, people might say you were engaged in "high falutin' talk" & could possibly think you were "puttin' on airs". So it's best to stick with the accepted gramatic forms of "this here" & "that there". Like lots of stuff, it depends on the context. And I'm not really sure gramatic is a word.A Valdese Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303901517157716136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4204581716107004836.post-70713628165553998602009-02-03T20:33:00.000-05:002009-02-03T20:33:00.000-05:00Thank you for this 'ere lesson!
