There's only one Oncer, so you'll both just have to fight over it.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

One consequence of rapid speech is often that the enunciation of the words is lost, and so meaning too: rather a crucial fault in radio presentation. But I agree with Alps, in the sense that this has become the norm among generations younger than mine, and so, I guess, learned behaviour.
