It's difficult to ascertain whether or not Monsignor Gracchus is, indeed, serious. Surely he must be aware that many participants herein have cut - rate set - ups which do not afford them spell check, grammar review, and autocorrect. And as for one expecting clear thinking on a list such as this -- heaven forefend, sir, heaven forefend! Perhaps such a delusionary state is a result of one not having regular vowel movements. In such case a generous dosage of Milk of Amnesia would appear to be indicated. Il n'y a pas de quoi!
