oops: sorry, Allen et al. I didn't mean to say that "& them" is restricted
to two people. Of course its wider usage includes more than just 2
people--perhaps even short for "them guys," who knows? .. Being in Oregon
now, I'll stick my ear up into the wind and see--oops, again--hear if I
can discern any "thems" for just a couple.
