Bonjour--
De temps en temps, je vois une construction selon l'exemple :
"Et Christophe (ou Pierre, Marie, etc.) de dire (ou autre verbe)..."
Pourriez-vous me confirmer 1) si cette construction est courante, et 2) si elle reflete un francais litteraire, ou bien a la rigueur si elle fait partie du francais couramment parle?
Un grand merci,
Fred
