You don't want to get into a discussion of the English language here. Trust me.

Don't bother, I was speaking colloquially.
Colloquialism
A colloquialism is an expression not used in formal speech or writing. Colloquialisms can include words (such as "gonna" or "grouty"), phrases (such as "ain't nothin'" and "dead as a doornail"), or sometimes even an entire aphorism ("There's more than one way to skin a cat").

Bring on your discussion. From what you've evidenced so far it should be interesting.

My, what an interesting homepage statement you have...
No, I do not respect you. You spend far too much time here.

Do you not disrespect yourself in the process or does that only apply to others?
