P defends V. ...

I believe I am the one who brought up spelling. It was a pedantic comment 
directed at a pedant. T'n'A, as Robin always sez, is not in a position to 
berate others about their use of the Mother Tongue. He/sh/it often writes in 
such an obscure manner that trying to wade through one post is excruciating.

As Paul McCartney once said to John Lennon--"Nearly."

I value IV over V, T'n'A thinks I'm nuts and the feeling's mutual.

Miscommunication is a drag, is how I feel about that. Deliberate
miscommunication is a pain in the ass. Repeated deliberate
miscommunication is the M.O. of T'n'A.

Maybe I'm really Wanda Tinasky, working out of my shopping cart.
