You have a problem with your orthography. That bizarre
combination (space, colon, hyphen, and close parenthesis)
should be replaced with an ordinary full stop. What colour
are your pot and kettle?

Precisely what I did not want to pick on. Nor his apparent ignorance of
the standard vocabulary with respect to "ancient" vs. "modern" history.
BTW if you like grammer you'll like hanger too. (Aviationwise that is.)

Then youshouldn't have said "ALL presidents". There was an air of
sarcasm in that comment.
And you are hereby informed that very few of us out here are able
to discern what you are thinking.

Don't invoke all of American history if you aren't interested in
it.
And I rarely harp on spelling and grammar (it's spelled
"grammar"). And for very good reason.

Human life will be long extinct on the planet, but their still will be
cockroaches. As to grammers, I just don't know.

And of course if you care about grammers and hangers, should have been
there, not their.
But eh, proofreading is just too expensive.

Now, now. She needs her crutches if she can't make herself clear
with prose.
Odd, though. I've read most of Mark Twain, Stephen Leacock, James
Thurber (I've even acted in Thurber stuff), and many others,
humorists all, and nary a :-) to be seen in any of them.
When she teaches English I wonder when she introduces the :-).

Just be a man and suck it up. You very clearly said "any other president in
US history" and I've seen you here long enough to know you would have gone
ballistic (with your splatter gun of "moron", "idiot", and "fool") had you
caught someone else in a similar misstep.
