Hi To be boring: the spellings are dialogue and tomorrow But, on your first point: I wouldn't use "pin down" when talking to a second person except in rare cases ... - Harry - stop giving me excuses - I'm trying to pin you down here! It means, clearly, that you are trying to force them to do something - Harry - we need to decide when to meet I'd say that is more polite Dave
