    My remark was less a dull syllable-counter than an indictment of speech strangled by a hyperfocus on literal interpretation of a simple concept. You might practice your math skills.

    I can see why you want to speak in another language.

    I'm sure you can. Fortunately, any provincial fear of plurilingualism I may have had was long ago erased by my ability to speak several of them.

    That a reasonable request to use idioms in chat without risk of censure has devolved to this level dismays me. I'm done wasting time on pointless one-upmanship. Have at it. :-)

    Just want to thank the Mods and the GM for listening and for clearing this up through some good dialogue in Global. Ruffled feathers appear to be smoothed, common sense in applying the rule prevails, and no pitchforks and torches were seen. : )

    That which does not bore me, makes me stranger...
