>You've no idea what I sound like.

I can take a good guess ;)

>It's a lot clearer than Charles's muttering and slurring.

Nope. I would say Charles is a lot clearer than a Scouser.

>If you're objecting to my using grammatically correct English then that's your sad business.

I find it somewhat strange that you wish to foist you "ever so" Englishness on every non-Englishman? Stuff like 'ppreciate it. If you were really interested in the confusion caused to a "non-anglophone", then do the right thing and spell "appreciate" properly so that they "may find it easier to follow". For God's sake, you only have to type an "a" - its not as if its shorthand!

>BTW The Royal family use "one" as an alternative to "I" or "me" which I'm NOT doing here.

Oh, you know them personally do you?

>YOU are using it to mean "you" - incorrect

Says you <s>.

>Then I was talking to a non-anglophone, who may find it easier to follow.

I think we have already dismissed your contention in this regard as poppycock.

>Finally, if you haven't got something constructive to add ( only ever disruptive) then why bother?

Because you are good fun.

>You're not happy unless you're fuelling a feud between us and I find you to be terribly sad.

No, you just overreact and can't take a joke.

>I've buried the hatchet with one bug-bear of mine but with you I just want to do it in your head.

Oooh, you are violent - you big brute.

>You just won't let it lie.

What? Its only been one message.

>Now EFF OFF!

I wish you would.
