JJ, The point I was making is that the gentleman doing the writing "appears" to be going out of his way to write in the fashion he presents. Case in point. If you can spell a sophisticated word, why is it a challenge to spell redundant three letter words. Count the "exra" key strokes used to support the persona. He has been challenged on the point by other readers of this site who feel his writing persona is cumbersome and contrived. No one is challenging his "roots." I'm just exercising my "freedom" to challenge his "questionable" writing persona. It gets "surrupy". BMP By the way, I ran a spell check (available to all us freedom loving Americans) and had about 7 mistakes in this document. Leverage technology! [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
