Just a quick hello
Good afternoon all,
Arrived in Houston 3 weeks ago, just secured our rental and may return to a vaguely normal existence once I get out of this hotel and don't feel the need to throttle the offspring. Have used and abused the wiki before we landed, so sorted on most things...however I do have a couple of questions, which I thought it would be rude to ask before saying hello.
So hello to you all. If I become eloquent enough, I may even join in with more serious matters, such as Pet Peeves and football talk
Regards
Fenella

...... Please ask away, we're ready and waiting. 
And no pretense at eloquence, or even literacy, is required to be accepted as a member here. We are also, apparently, a "punctuation optional" forum.

Re: Just a quick hello
I could mention your incorrectly typed ellipsis if you like ...
. ...... I was referring to the "txtrs" who write half a dozen lines, or more, with nary a comma, much less a full stop.

Re: Just a quick hello
Punctuation is not optional.
As a caveat though, should I make a mistake and the sun is over the yardarm, then I am forgiven. (My rule).
If however, this is little nuance between the two of you, then I bow out now.
