In which our pusillanimous "Princess Nora" repeats the 
stunt of her flunky, Xemblinosky, which represented the 
gleaning of a few typos from several thousand correctly 
spelled, grammatically precise, and--by any standard means 
of measurement--highly coherent words of mine.  Like her 
greasy, typo-pouncing ferret "subject", Raoul, she 
dishonestly clusters those typos in a barren attempt to 
malign several well-written posts--and in effect--me, 
their writer.  (see my "Woof Busted Stacking Deck" of 
yesterday.)

The fact is, since most language authorities have
for the greater part of this century sanctioned 
"split-infinitive" constructions (such as mine above) 
as correct in colloquial English, you prove yourself 
very much the pitiful-wanna-be-pedant-with-the-dusty-
bag-of-obsolete-pronouncements, "Princess Nora"--when 
you give credence to Raoul's sophomoric, pseudo-
intellectual stylistic pontification.

Typo in "rebuttal" (in the above line) corrected.

Yes, Mr. "Einstein" Xemblinosky, you did find the 
one typo in several hundred otherwise fully coherent 
words.  I'm glad the "princess" sees fit to emphasize
your "cleverness" and "creativity".

Yes, Mr. "Victor Hugo" Xemblinosky, you showed us
your "immense writing talent" by finding another
typo in several hundred more words.  Congratulations
on your "brilliant intellectual achievement".
I'm so delighted that your "princess" has noted
your "achievement".

Yes, Mr. "Cervantes" Xemblinosky.  You have proven 
you "wit" and "imagination" once again by diligently
searching out another typo.  How superb that your 
"princess" has noted your "amazing feat".

>Uh oh...NOW you've done it!  Just ask Wotan ;-)

Should we end by saying, "Like 'princess', like
peon," or would that be too honest and politically
incorrect for name-mangling, typo-pouncing, ferret
Xemblinosky?
