"It's worth talking to Joe."
1) One says the above sentence is wrong and that "Joe is worth talking to." is right.
2) Another says the above sentence is right.
3) The other says the above sentence is common in British English, but not in American English.
Who is correct? |

I agree with #2, and it is common in AmE.
