Again how little you know me, and I certainly never laughed at it, I
just asked a genuine question. So I will take that as an affirmitive.
Not good for the old safety record is it.  I have never had a any hero
make a bomb at all and thats nothing more than a lame discredit by
association flame. Yawn like thats never been tried before. The one
thing I will give you credit for is a severe lake of imagination.

I certainly know what they are. You should goto the TMS web site and
in the search type "Due to". You should see all the uneducated
illiterates according to your twisted english that are post there.
Even scientific papers use "Due to" as a preposition in the title on
that website.

Just like somebody has been saying "Due to" is a preposition.

All was using your use of grammar to determine that. After all, isn't
that what you have have been doing not just on this threa but others..
I thought I warned you of the dangerous of spelling or grammar
flaming.

tut tut I would have expected you to have at least sought the origins
of the word. Do you think you where baited again.

The term comes from a group of English bookmakers who absconded over
to Wales to avoid having to pay out on a lot of long shots who came
in. This term became popular later when Edward Prince of Wales refused
to pay a few outstanding gambling debts.  The english used many terms
that the Welsh find offensive such as "Welsh Rabbit" etc. Welsh
language magazine in the early 90s started a campaign in the US to get
the term "Welsher" banned as racist.

OK, so it is settled. There is no such site, unless you are taking about 
"Student"s"" Review. That totally worthless chat forum contains five 
negative comments about OSU, compared to over 70 positive ones. FIVE 
negative one - do you have a clue how many students there are on this 
campus, and what fraction FIVE represents? There is no URL in existence, 
and you made the post up just to denigrate an institution you know 
absolutely nothing about (and cannot even distinguish from Ohio 
University). You are, pure and simple, a bare faced liar. Case proven 
and closed.

Only a moron would be stupid enough to persist in questioning someone's 
qualifications when Google exists. That is REALLY dumb. I could care

Go to Fowler, page 651 and 652. I assume you CAN read. It is right 
there, as it was when I read it before making that post.

OK, then give me his web site. If he has any professional credentials at 
all, then he will have one. Unless, of course, this is another fiction. 
I'd be happy to meet at the Bogside Inn - I assume, since you are 
prescribing these conditions, that you will therefore provide the 
airfare.
