Mark wrote:  By the way, have you heard of the owl who told her owlet, "How
many times do I have to tell you it is not 'To whom', but 'To who'!"

Whereupon the owlet began to cry, "Boo whom, boo whom."  The exasperated
mother owl replied, "We're not booing anyone, dear, now quit crying."

Beste liëglanners,

Just wanted to add to the discussion about the usage of _I_ and _me_ that
Western Flemish tends to say "Het is van ik" instead of "Het is van mij".

Kind greetings,

Luc Hellinckx
