First of all I want to say I'm privileged to join your group because I don't know if I am or not but there is form, and that's what this is. I blame not, I approve not, I merely tell a tale, I think "I" am Talleyrand but I'd have to check.

One thing is that Americans omit the "to" after "write" and they say "write me" like you were creating them anew by means of literary communication which is quite nice when you think about it and not something I would have credited them with but there you are some peoples surprise you.

In no sense and by no earthly means am I here provisionally. I have every gay intention of counterpointing your "silent cacophonies of joy" and if I can do that in my own time then so much the better for you and me and indeed you. The moving finger writes and having writ etc. Quod scripsi, very much scripsi but I hope the quetion won't arise and if it does then I will esteem it very much to my own detriment and no blame

All that remains now is sincerity but it's not a bad legacy even before you leave it.

I understand him better, I think, when he says : you shouldn't say "I think, therefore I am" but "I think because I am".

That depends on the context. If they say 'write me a letter', then that's the same context as 'make me a cup of tea': it's not a 'to' that is missing, but a 'for'. If they're just saying 'write me' in the imperative, like 'call me', then that's just weird.

I say "write me" quite often.
