Posts: 1075 | From: Nigh golden stone and spires | Registered: Oct 2009  |  IP: Logged lilBuddha Shipmate # 14333 Posted                       We were not offended by your absence, but the same cannot be said regarding your return. I cannot spell offence? You'll notice the title of the thread, I hope. Using an s instead of a c isn't wrong, just different. Though typically used more by Americans these days, it is as old a spelling as the one used by the rest of the English speaking world, ~14th century. So, as I was speaking to WW, it is highly appropriate to use both.

Citing the title of the thread as your authority to make fast and loose with the orthography (rather than the etymology) of the word offence/offense is hardly valid, since you are the very person who originated the thread. It would be rather like me saying "I am wonderful simply because I say I am", which whilst true, hardly demonstrates the humility becoming a Christian website. But it is not your lack of logic and perspicacity that most offends me (alas, I have become inured to it due to long acquaintance with your somewhat novel approach to disputation), it is your snarky attitude to poor Lucia, so recently returned from her vacances and your unpleasant implications regarding our own dear Wodders. Ageism is a very ugly thing. Posts: 144 | Registered: Aug 2012  |  IP: Logged Oscar the Grouch Adopted Cascadian # 1916 Posted                       O dear God.
