I don't even consider just No as an answer. That's just disrespectful for me.
And giving wrong answers, without caring about accuracy or utility is respectful.[8|] Back where I come from that would be viewed as treating the reader as a mug who can be sold the Brooklyn Bridge and if they are rich and gullible enough, the Empire State Building too.
"No" is a succinct answer which quickly discloses the truth without disclosing a value judgement.
Alfred
Yes.
True dat. [:'(]

"I think" means it's not absolutely sure. I think of this because I noticed B17 are really hard to destroyed on the ground but that's probably because of the low number.
I respect your opinion but I disagree, not taking the time to write a sentence just show how you badly consider your interlocutor.

Alfred is a student of Hemingway. Or he has very low durability. I can beat him though.

Hemingway liked to drop unnecessary words. He wrote a little known novel about a Chinese revolutionary. It was titled "Sun also Rises".

I impressed my wife once by correctly spelling hobbledehoy at a spelling bee and then knowing the definition. This is from a guy who regularly spells thier wrong....
You start with they, replace the y with an i and add r.
Unless you spell thye wrong.

Here's how to correctly spell friend. You start with fried (how you feel after playing WitP-AE for eight hours with a friend), then take the n from "end" and put it into the end (end is what you should tell your friend after eight hours) of fried. Hope that helps.

Whether you are a Yank or a Brit, you spell prize (as in grand prize) prize, but the only way the Brit gets a prize is when they pry it out of the hands of someone whose friendship they don't prise. Surprized?

Hm
1. No is a very clear answer and you were much better off to respect a no as a no!
2. Alfred is THE man about WITPAE. If he tells you "No", he means "No" and therefore the question quoted ist answered absolutely correct!
Are you a female you have to get long and elaborate answeres? A man can live with a clear "No"!

I have a question about some of your spelling. Since Deutsch speakers pronounce w the way english speakers say v (or sometimes f), can you actually pronounce "quewstion"? How about "answeerd? Just teasing. [:'(]
