Dear Joan, I will "weasel" out of this criticism by pointing out that there several antecedent discussions which were not cited. That's one of the problems we have here -- multithreaded conversations. Perhaps I have injected a meaning in Sidney's words in this and previous posts that he did not intend, but I inferred that Sidney invokes supernatural explanations and "proofs". One example:

exchange2000.com

So my sin may boil down to making an unwarranted inference if the basis were simply one post. But there were several which lead me to believe that Sidney believes in supernatural interventions. If this constitutes weaseling, I must plead guilty with explanation. But actually, in the larger context, I think I was correct.

Yes, you are correct. My mind was not in gear when I should have used phenomenon instead of phenomena. I throw myself at your feet and beg mercy in this forum, for surely between you and Edwarda I would not get it on the grammar thread).

Jousting with a woman who is simultaneously a grammarian and a logician is simply too much for me. The only thing worse would be if she had legal train too.

TTFN,
CTC
