    Oxford English Dictionary Online? I'm not worried. Now, if someone tells me that such things are to be included in a new edition of H.W. Fowler's Modern English Usage, THEN I will stock up on ammo and durable goods, barricade the door and await the apocolypse....

Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.
