"I don't know what you are referring to," Should be expressed by a Prime Minister as "I do not know to what you refer" Pontius Pilate did a similar hand washing act but managed to use his own language correctly - according to the written records. So much for a private education ;>) It pisses me off when people who make their living from the craft of using words don’t have a basic grasp of the English language.

"I don’t know what you are referring to,"
