A Burning Issue

A Burning Issue

Dear Sir,

T. Scotney's blatant attempts at self-justification are totally absurd. Her hapless drivel can in no way be accepted as even remotely plausible.

I would have thought it patently obvious that the English language according to myself is the best method yet devised by Man as a means of self-expression, — this is an indisputable fact.

What relevance from 557 B.C. and Caesar (which one?) to the current discussion?

The error made by T. Scotney is common and therefore cannot be described as "creative, innovative and original".

Yes, the P.S. is the single most crucial issue facing mankind in the forseeable future, and why should I have a sense of humour? — some people have to be different.

The additions to T. Scotney's letter are childish and petty, and I would much prefer a total lack of willingness to compromise, if at all possible.

N.B. "meas amicos" is clearly incorrect, in any language.)

Lots of Love,

E. Hamilton.
