Then you should have stipulated that.

101 in writing scientifically is to remove all ambiguity from a statement. If you leave ambiguity, people won't get your point. Many derivations could be (and were) made from your original post.

It was a mistake. Thank you for pointing that out.

Too occasionally? You would prefer to do it less occasionally?

Yeah? Well, word of advice - don't forget to get your dress dry cleaned after you get out from under princeoforange's desk, dear.

You sound like a transvestite if not worse. Yeah? Queer?

Good comeback, wait, no, d'uh!

Is that really the best you can do? As for me being queer (laughable - no, I like me women), well, let's just say your mother didn't think so.

no, no. I mean "too" as in "as well". Grammatically correct, my good man.

I have noticed that when someone posts something that is unansweerable, they are ignored, rather then congratulated on their obvious success. Input, por favor.

well, you can spend a long time putting together a nice, complicated answer, only to have the other guy drop off the topic, or drop his subscription and run off to another website whinging about how badly he was treated in the Debates forum, or totally miss your point (in which case you will need about 1-1000 followups, depending on the other guy).

I know, my good woman. 😉 I just liked the ambiguity. A comma would have helped, I guess.
