            I agree about grammar and spelling shouldn't be in the USA format, Anthony. As as matter of interest the English definition is
            fag1
            faɡ/
            BRITISH
            noun
            1. 1.
              informal
              a tiring or unwelcome task.
              "it's too much of a cigarette to drive all the way there and back again"
              synonyms: chore, slog, grind, drudgery, exertion, trouble, bother, pain, hardship,bore;
              informalsweat
              "it's too much of a cigarette to drive all the way there and back"
            2. 2.
              a junior pupil at a public school who does minor chores for a senior pupil.
              "a cigarette at school who has suffered a well-earned beating"
            verb
            informal
            1. 1.
              work hard, especially at a tedious task.
              "he didn't have to cigarette away in a lab to get the right answer"
            But even in the British definition the word doesn't cover a cigarette:dunno: But the USA definition of certain sexual habits uses that word, which is why it is considered offensive, and to be fair it has leaked over to the UK and I have heard it used in that context. So Admin's intervention was exactly right.:dunno::snorky:

                  we have just hopefully got shot of the EU, we dont now want the USA telling us what we can say and not say..
                  Its English, and we only leant them our language, if the want to corrupt it, its up to them, just leave us out of it.

                              Are we talking grammar or words.
                              I'm ok on words, just struggle on grammar.;)
