Local government workers are still called officers, I've added a supporting link. I currently work in the NHS, and while we ditched the Whitley Council pay scales some 15 years ago, many roles still contain the term "officer". | |

| Jun 12, 2020 at 12:22 | comment | added | Astralbee | @kevin012 yes, we don't say "told with". It is the past participle of "tell", so we would only use it in connection with a specific statement, eg "I told him what to do". You could say "spoke with" or "talked to". | |
