Yes, it must get boring being stuck in a tent in a thicket in France, with limited access to the internet and nothing better to do than completely waste whatever access you do get! Or is this sort of "discussion" what helps keep you "sane", meso? Well, at the risk of sounding boring myself, can I just say, you really HAVE bored me (and anyone else reading this thread, I imagine), and I'll take your 'I'm bored' as an admission of defeat on your part, a disinclination to continue with this "argument" of yours (and I can assure you that I have no real interest in continuing to reply to you either here).

I am bored by your lack of progress beyond the need to 'defeat' and your own view of the world.

Those supposed shortcomings of mine surely apply as much if not moreso to you, or are you really indeed claiming that you've added anything of substance to this thread, and in a constructive way? If so, sorry, I must've somehow missed it. But continue putting me down if it makes you feel better, oh great guru (me, I'll stick with my dictionaries despite their faults).

You did indeed miss it.

Ah well, not to worry!

"All's well that ends well," claimed William Shakespeare.

Was that fun?

I'd just note that prepositions differ across the globe, some distinctions matter more than others, and skip the personal attacks.
