In which case, and given that Andrew made the point rather more lightheartedly, your use of the exclamation mark is flawed. Your use of rows of them is execrable. In addition, your first sentence in your last posting uses one comma when there should be a semi-colon, and another which is completely redundant. It also contains double and single inverted commas when they are completely unnecessary with no reason for delineating the one from the other. I could also mention your use of the appalling abbreviation &, as well as your inconsistent paragraph structure... But perhaps the point has been made. The English language is a tool, not a master. It's not a fossil either and both grammar and vocabulary are constantly in flux. Steve [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
