Simply astounding!
To write the above and then follow soon after with:

I read it five minutes ago and yet am still shaking my
head in disbelief.
Are you the same man who almost weekly tries to correct
someone else's spelling (although more often than not
erroneously, as he seems unaware of variations), or who
lectures us about the proper use of words (about which
too he is more often than not incorrect), or who told us
that this is not "Sprachenkindergarten", or who asked
if another list member was even a college graduate?
Gods what cheek you have!

Indeed they are, but is it proper to qualify a word like
'unequal' with 'very', Patrick? I would think that the
word admits not, just as the words 'perfect' and 'unique'
admit not, to degrees.
(Now isn't that annoying?)
