Languages (and editors) are always emotional topics on the 'net... But I was actually thinking that here we are on a mailing list having a mini-language war and by internet standards its extremely civilised! Nobody has called anyone a moron or an idiot yet and an 'are you joking' is, to me at least, just a term of speech, not an insult. Certainly if anyone has been offended I apologise profusely it was never meant thus.
