a wh- question involving "think" in the negative case

[emsr2d2]

I have just come across this thread, and I am astonished to see my fellow Brits saying that they have not come across the term "helicopter parents" before. Just about every Saturday and Sunday supplement [Telegraph, Times, etc] I seem to have read over the past year has had one or more articles featuring this phrase. It's too late to close the borders: it's already embedded here!

I stopped reading The Telegraph when 1) they stopped leaving the marvellous typos on the back page; 2) I realised I could get the cryptic crossword online; 3) I didn't want people seeing me reading it and thinking I was a dyed-in-the-wool Tory!

I haven't seen it in the Guardian.
