Ten whole points. That's a formidable member you've offended there, Bêthberry. If you're not careful you'll be back to 'getting the hang of it' before too long.

Serves you right for talking posh. Rather than risk an accusation of euphuism through a potentially equivocal use of the indirect question, it would have been more felicitous to employ the more lucid prosody that is a sine qua non of electronic discourse. After all, there are some people who wouldn't even understand the foregoing sentence, which exemplifies limpidity.

I don't expect that putting God in quotation marks helped, even to point out that He was missing His customary capital.
