: I was just corrected on a usage I do not think is wrong. I was just being liberal. Kindly advise.

: Dear Sathyaish
: I didn't know people stayed on telephone extensions. That is a very funny usage? Going by all the established English norms, it is an incorrect usage. English is a language that is constantly evolving; and it is ideal to be tolerant of novel usages; but this usage is too far-fetched to be treated correctly.

: Dear Harinder,
: I stay on a shared extension 108. However, I would personally come up to you for the errors I think I spotted.

Don't worry about it - I can find fault with the reply too! The phrase isn't familiar to me, but what did you want to tell him? I'm on extension 108? You can reach me on extension 108? Or perhaps; I share extension 108 (with so-and-so)?
