Can we take this posting, um sorry, tangent of yours as the definitive example of your knowledge of English, Dave?

Barry Cryer (English humourist) said that explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog.
Nobody laughs, and the frog dies.

You use logic in the same way Lewis Carroll uses logic.

I reluctantly conclude that Oristar probably learns more about English in the disagreements around OSD's posts than in a straightforward answer to his original question.

A bit like when you sink a ship, creating an artificial reef. Sealife proliferates, fishing improves. David is that sunken ship.

As a side note, apparantly Ye Olde Shoppe, is pronounced The Old Shop. The Y, is not a Y but an Anglo-Saxon Thorn, pronounced th. See picture below, sorry it's a bit hippy.

Yes, but one does understand the workings of a frog better afterwards.
