   Hi, Anton!  Recently you wrote in an addendum to yourself:   
      
   AS>  Since the new virus is more deadly than flu, it is only   
   AS>  meet to give it more weight over other factors in the   
   AS>  attribution of death.   
      
   AS>  Mefears it is an illiterate usage of "meet". Should not   
   AS>  I have written instead: "...it is only meet that it   
   AS>  (should) receive more weight over other factors..."   
      
      
              AFAIK the second alternative is the usual construction...   
      
      
      
   AS>  I have not found a reliable number of instances of "it   
   AS>  is only meet to" in Google books, although I see no   
   AS>  problem with it...   
      
      
              ... but I see no grammatical reason to avoid using the first.  :-)
