“dipthong”, huh?
Do you have any idea what you just now did to my dangling participle???
Jesus!

HM HW,
I hope you took what I wrote upthread as a joke, because it was truly meant that way, and I am sorry if I offended.
As I have often stated, I have a continuing love affair with the English language and all its nuances, but sometimes I fail to make it clear when I am joking, and I hope you will overlook this time?
Thanks
Quasi
Oh no, no offense at all, sorry if my not responding made you think so. Honestly, I just didn’t know what to respond (and truth be told, I’m not entirely sure I get the joke…). But don’t worry about it, 's all cool.
