After a time, though, I decided that I would seek a balance closer to speech and ordinary usage, because I was a bit too stilted

I understand that. I first recognized the need to dumb down my language usage while on the playground. That turned out to be fortuitous because, in my dotage, I'm increasingly unable to retrieve the rules of grammar from my memory. In any event, it would just be too frustrating to be a strict grammarian while inhabiting SI.

My intent was merely to provide a mild rebuke to compensate for your suggestion that I was unable to distinguish between disagreement with your premise and the effectiveness with which you communicated it.

I shall get to Mr. Bertrand Russell anon.
