No problem. I know how passionate you are about the language. I DON'T know why I could respond on newbie and others couldn't. I'm curious - along with your passion for English usage, do you enjoy some of the language's contradictions and word play in general? Some very clever comedians have pointed out some interesting things, such as:
Why is abbreviation such a long word?
Why is the word phonetic spelled with a "ph"?
Of course there are many more that I can't remember at the moment.
Regards,
Ron
