Yes, and as Bertrand Russell noted: | Quadruplicity drinks procrastination. Russell used his string as a prototypical example of a syntactically correct one that was ungrammatical in a very technical sense, and Mr MacNeil has, perhaps unwittingly, provided us with yet another example of such a string. I have already made it clear that I do not believe that anyone has an obligation to read my posts, and those who lack a sense of humor certainly should not do so. I do not "deliberately cloud ther issues"; but I suppose that I have deliberately refused to reform my style, in the sense that I have refused to make Mr MacNeil the arbiter of its appropriateness. I do not, indeed, understand his moral outrage; but I am anyway unrepentent; et ça suffit.
