...am I not surprised...? Oh, but here's a surprising bit -- you got some of it exactly right: Yes, my mastery of English does indeed far exceed yours.

But thinking I'm a "text munging wannabe" is as backwards(*) as it gets: I'm normally a text-munging NOT-wannabe, but unfortunately in this case I was a text-munging GOTTAbe.


(*): And isn't that -- the original, un-funnified plain version "ass-backwards" -- a bloody stupid expression, BTW? Having one's ass backwards is the CORRECT position for that part of the body; when something is all the wrong way around, it must be ass-FORWARDS!
