    I don't generalise about entire races or cultures so I should be fine ... But I appreciate that you care enough about my comments to worry.:D

    Nor do I.

    I was merely returning the courtesy as you appeared to be worried on my behalf. However, it is a fine line.....and one we should all be careful to fall on the right side of, don't you think?;)

    Yes, pat,you win! there are those out there that don't like disagreement and do take it personally. It is a shame as open debate is what makes a forum but I try to rise above it. Glad you found the time to post about it though. Have a nice evening.:)

    Can you explain why you edited the name if you are sure the two posters are one and the same?

    I really don't think it is appropriate to discuss this, do you? I suspect it is against MSE rules.

    No need to apologise, though, but thank you for that. My answer to P.a.go is above, and I am sure you will agree because you mentioned it earlier in the thread.

    In English Language Prose terms, in written composition, tone is often defined as what the author (rather than the reader) feels about the subject. Sorry.

    No need to apologise, but tone is what is inferred by the reader. Which is why emails are often misconstrued.

    Oh yes, we have, there are loads of lyrics that surprise me when I see the written down, and I have been singing them wrong for years. However, the chances of two posters, on the same thread, from Ireland, who have been/are a TA using the same incorrect version of a well known saying are....low, very low, imo of course.

    Even more so to have loads of friends on Facebook also thinking it's atom!:rotfl:

    Are you laughing at the quote or the person? I don't think it is very kind to laugh at someone for making a mistake :( . If that is not the case here, then I apologise.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
