The problem Jon is that both Ilion and Stan are taking the words of Dickens as a factual account of peoples lives of the time.

You're such a liar. It's you little fools who are trying to pretend that Dickens' fiction was accurate.

Is that the best you could do, how disappointed I am. Surely you can come up with something more original that hasn't before been previously used. Go on, give it a try, and amaze me with you superiority.

Poor little Troy. Is this what you have been reduced to? And you started off with your condemnation of Dickens so bravely and boldly. And now you have nothing left except the shallow and unsatisfying taunt of a six year old.

I learnt to jump from them. In fact I was underpaid to jump from them. Then I left the army and joined the Not Jumping From Aeroplanes Community. :-D I have the good sense not to design them!

One might also note that even though Ilíon rarely makes orthographic errors, much less grammatical errors, he does not jump on others when they do.

You don't need to - you already have ample opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the subjunctive form.

But then, Ilíon doesn't appear to have a *need* to hold himself as superior to others, does he?
