we all recognize it when we see it

But do we all agree in each particular case?

Since when have we all agreed in any particular case?

*Rimshot!

Well I do. I agree with everyone here in that "effectively" is effectively used in the proposed court writ, and that the judge is a twerp.

The act of concealing is nowise an act of concealment so the addition of "effectively" has the effect of making the desired court order more precise.

"... "effectively" is ambiguous and could mean either "efficaciously" or "in effect", which is slightly different."
What?
I sleep well at night knowing that the lesser of the least contributors to this fine board would not mistake the above.

Ah, sweet sleep, secure in the knowledge that no one here is a twerp.

Goodnight sweet princes and princesses of Awad,
Milo. Zzzzzzzz.
