Just an aside concerning the continuing abuse of the English language:

I hear more and more people saying, “All of the sudden...” instead of, “All of a sudden...”

How do these things get started?

Sometimes it's irksome to keep hearing the phrase "all of a sudden." What's wrong with using the word "suddenly" in place of "all of a sudden"? It sounds better to me.

You just answered it: "All of the sudden." ;-)

Cheers!
