I agree with what you said. I just had to make it clear where Portuguese stands on the issue, regarding usage and what grammar says. I say this because as the way it had been put, it somehow seemed like the Brazilian prescriptive grammar agreed with that construction ("o vejo"), and it's not the case. So I found pertinent to clarify the subject. :) Peter, no offense intended. :) Peace, Ken
