::And another thing while we're at it. I don't track your activity. But one edit I saw from last week made link changes I would not have made myself, nor did I suggest something like that in what I wrote to you. I have noted that you tend to have a literalistic, legalistic way of interpreting all writing around here (and its grammar), and that is quite simply an inappropriate way to treat language and communication. Language is the way it is because it needs to be flexible in everyday life. Yes, if it's not used grammatically, what comes out may not be clear or particularly useful, but that's the author's worry. Read some literature. The best writers have an instinct about what a language can or ought to do that goes beyond the guidelines of grammar - which are guidelines, not absolute rules.

:::Hello Giles, I'm tempted to ask [[User:Margotbean|Margot]] to say why are you reversing my edits on links, I'm not gonna ask her, because we don't think she'll answer regardless of what we say, we think she doesn't like us changing links to pages, may you please start a new discussion to [[User talk:Margotbean|Margot's Talk Page]] about why she is doing this? Thank you. [[User:9000|9000]] ([[User talk:9000|talk]]) 05:39, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
