Ahhh, so now my posting of a grammatical error is tantamount to a personal
attack?  Since you like to mention the private conversations we may have,
Jim and I HAVE had several private conversations regarding his use of the
"English language"  (the quotes are for Ross's benefit/amusement, but feel
free to construe them as you see fit), and I even noticed something of an
improvement (hence the remark, since by then Jim had pretty well stopped
using "of" for "have").  Is my grammar perfect?  Of course not, and I have
on several occasions thanked those who have corrected my mistakes.  But if
we're now going to start equating the posting of a FACT (i.e., "more
heavier" is woefully incorrect, and my source is ANY English teacher that
ANY of us have had; the correct usage, as you know, would be "more heavy" or
"heavier"), then we may as well ALL stop posting now.
