Why does manhaten refuse to divulge whether or not insane phaedrus has given him 10 thousand dollars?
Either insane boy gave you the money or not. Why the secrecy? It’s not like 10 thousand dollars really means anything anymore.

I think we can all rest assured that if Phaedy gave him the money, he would immediately use it to buy a dictionary and grammar book for you.

I think if you go find the old thread and actually read the damned thing, you’ll see everything you need to know. I’m assuming, of course, that you have a reasonbly normal comprehension level.
