I agree with Sean. Let's move on.
For what it's worth *g*, it never ceases to amaze me how the more intricate
questions of our craft blow by rather quickly, yet these silly little a/an,
one space or two, how do you spell/pronounce threads go on and on and on. Is
that really indicative of our level of expertise or is it just boredom that
feeds the discussion? If the former, yikes! If the latter, perhaps we should
have a "cafe" style list for lighter conversation.
