If you go back to my original post, I think you will find that I used the 2 word from. It is one thing to insult a man's integrity but to insult his grammar.... you sir, are a scoundrel. :tongue:


Which you edited in at 13.25; 29 minutes after I made a comment about the two word form :tongue:
Whenever I use "one" instead of "I", I always read the next few lines with a Sherlock Holmes accent.
Things always seem to happen "inevitably" in my essays.

I mean that is just so sad. That you make all these claims that I edit this and edit that. You should just accept that you made a grammatical mistake, I mean there's no shame in it. We all make mistakes from time to time. :smile:

I like a good 'therefore', also 'however' 'consequently' and 'on the other hand' is a good phrase to use.

'Thus' and 'Moreover' :smile:

I also apparently like to quote Bond films, I fit "he had a powerful weapon" and "all time high" in one of my history essays. Clearly, my subconscious is telling me to watch more Bond films for revision :biggrin:
As part of a proposition bet I've successfully managed to include the word 'discombobulating' in every one of my non-exam essays over the past year.

SHIP THAT TENNER.
