Hi Alan,
Why do you think I am fond of Sir Quiller Couch's writings?

I am not HM The Queen and I do not present myself as an authority on the English language on this forum...

Well, that's a relief. I was getting a tad worried.

Oh absolutely old bean! Things definitely are not what they used to be. It all started to go downhill when Johnnie Milton decided to write his Paradise Lost in the vulgar tongue instead of Latin.

I wonder what post you're referring to. Also, why do you think I'm a he? I could be "a he, a she, or even a robot", as I recall our friend Jamie saying.

Are you intentionally using pretense?
What I mean to say is, are you really so proud of QE 2 (not the ship) and her kin?
I can understand a sense of pride, of approval -- that's okay with me -- but to brag about her like a Liverpool fan brags about Stevie G?
Come on, man. She isn't your grandma... nor a soccer star.
"Way to go, QE 2, way to wake up today! Great job at not dying!"
And please get off this British subjugation kick. The United States never will be part of the Commonwealth. We'll be your best friend (or among them), but subjugation is so 18th century.
:)

Hi EU,
You like the mystery, not I. This forum is mainly about English language questions, not about teasing. If you are not a 'he', then tell us what you are. Otherwise we'll be in the dark.

I really don't think I would be that eager to discuss my own grandmother in the forums - at least I would be really uncomfortable telling you so much about how good my grandmother is and how mighty she is.

I get your point. I hope you'll be OK with my being a robot.
