Humblest apologies for my breach of forum etiquette. I am not sure what Ad Hominem means but am afraid it's an offense I may have committed.
I will be more judicious about my posts in the future and will try to be less retaliatory.
Well Porky  , that it's appears to be spelled correctly. Hopefully not likely to forget that it's means it is now. A. has a 'cow-orker' who used to be dead-certain it was the other way. That admittedly rather caustic reply post somehow left me the impression that our consonant-heavy linguistic expert suspected you of being a sock puppet. Perhaps it was about some earlier posts.

actually it was this that the word google already has it's own dictionary definition. from the original post, and the sock-puppet business was aimed at themilum.

It's own dictionary. It still confuses me. Is it's wrong here or is it's right? Aramis says right but.....

That's it, I sort of had it right in my head, but this discussion made me doubt again. Thanks!

HA! "The Shooting of Dan McGrew". is a real jolly Tale! I found a luxury page, really love it! This is what we call a " smartlap", :a " dishcloth of woe". (from the idea you need alarge piece of cloth to wipe your tears) Dangerous Dan McGrew it says and the Dirty one is the mystery man who plays the piano "with his talon hands".
"Were you ever out in the Great Alone, when the moon was awful clear"?------- I guess all of you know this one very well, but I'll give the page anyway: Dan McGrew.

Helpful as it is, though, Moody’s book is sometimes more Felix than Oscar: it’s dense, meticulous (except for the author’s dismaying habit of forming the plural of a proper name by adding an apostrophe before the ‘s.’), formidably well researched and, in the first half especially, a little dull.

Dangerous Dan is fine but my favorite is that night on the marge of Lake Labarge I creamated Sam McGee. Especially if read aloud in truly lugubrious tones. McGee (Sorry, I can't figure out how to make a one word link.) Hey, it worked!! Ain't technology wonderful.
