No, in fact I don't hear people saying "Pass me the control". I've heard that device called a number of things, but 'the control' is not one of them.

And "the remote"?

Now, before we go your usual garden-path way: what is it that you really want to say. Is "fix X from remote" used, and is it OK for all of us to use it? Go search, but please don't guess.

Steady on, old chap. There's no need for all this agitation.

My points were quite straightforward:

1. I haven't heard "from remote" used.
2. I have heard "remotely" used.
3. It may well be that "from remote" is used.
4. Your quotee doesn't say "from remote".

LOL! So don't agitate by calling me "old boy" when I've asked you not to.
