Who is to blame for the horrible verb "pickpocketing?" Why has this disgusting construction been foisted on us - and by whom?
I presume by the same sort of people who would say "mother-in-laws" - and militant cyclists, and global-warmists.
Who would say "pickstrawberrying" or "pickcherrying"?
The word of course should be "pocket-picking" - WITH the bloody hyphen.
Grrr.
Until the next time
