Dear Spiral

Do you think you will always be pedantic to be this way?

Hic!

Dear Sasha:

So far, so good.
Being pedantic in this way has been one of the highlights of my existence, you see Cool

.

Though I could think of lots and lots more highlights, if pressed Wink

P.S. Are you going to write the new Murphy's chapter on the trendy new 'to be' forms? And don't forget those lucrative chapters on 'if I would have' and 'bored of' which should appear in every up-to-date grammar reference - you'll make a fortune!!

Dear Spiral

I am confused to read this. I thought that the Good Water would be a higherlight than to be pedantic to listen to degeneration... I am let down to realise that this may not be so!

Hic hic!

Dear Spiral

I am excited to write a chapter for Murphy. I am enthusiastic to call it 'native-speaker over-generalisation'. It is snappy to roll off the tongue.

Hic!

Dear Sasha:

I am certain Raymond is going to be thrilled with your collaboration Laughing

Please give him my best wishes.

Another P.S.: The Goodest of Good Waters may perhaps take the edge off my love of being pedantic. Haven't reached that particular state quite yet - perhaps tomorrow;-)
