I had not realized until now that everything you say is self-satire. But to make it perfectly effective, you have to eliminate minor errors (unless, of course, you are making them on purpose). For example:

"ad nauseum"

"Nausea" is a feminine noun and, taking the accusative case with "ad," it becomes "nauseam."

Actually, come to think of it, mistakes like this are an essential part of the persona that you cultivate, so perhaps it would be best to leave them as they are.

In any case, you are a welcome presence on the thread, which at times runs the risk of sounding like a group of several dozen of us beating bongo drums in unison.
