Yes, Ian, I can see how this would be the case. I think it's also true in
the US in some contexts, particularly opera. (I am more a concert and new
music singer and the rules are different, at least at the level of
accomplishment that I am currently at.) Thank you for clarifying!
And I love the Shirley Bassey story! She's a funny lady.
