I hesitate to be impolite, but you misspelled humor four times in your reply.
[&o] [:)]

I am sure I misspell many words. And that I do so often. Here, however, I disagree. Mostly because I try to use British English rather than American English.

With that said I am glad when someone is nice and tell me of my mistakes. [:)]

I also hesitate to be impolite, however I noticed you spelt humour incorrectly in your would-be correction to Ormster's alleged initial misdemeanour [;)].

Right, so he's to blame for the shoddy grammar - can I get - missing out U's without so much as a hello and excuse me, and deciding that I could care less was in an way shape or form a sensible thing to say? [starts rocking back and forth and dribbling from the corner of mouth]

Rex Stout's detective Nero Wolfe was tearing pages out of his newly purchased Webster's new edition and throwing them into the fireplace to burn when his assistant Archie came in to the room.

Archie said "I knew you were going to burn it when you bought it, because you did not buy it in leather."

I believe the grievance was indicating it was acceptable to use "like" and "as" interchangeably

I am reminded of Sam Watkins, 1st Tennessee Infantry Regiment, who was told that there was no such word as "cooter" in Webster's Dictionary.

To which, Watkins replied: "I have as much right to make a dictionary as Mr. Webster."

18 pages! For a non-existent game! That has to be some kind of a record! [:(]

Rumour has it that it has already begun. Process has been made somewhere, and a save might even have been created. [;)]

This is a corollary to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle: If you check on the status of a Gorn game, it ceases to exist. Unless you believe in UniGorns.
