" Typography " : The art or process of printing with type. The work of setting and arranging types and of printing from them. The general character or appearance of printed matter.

By "typography," I was referring to your cloying use of the cap key and boldface. As you can see by the definition you've provided, my usage is again correct.

You're NOT clever, you don't know the English language nearly as well as you imagine you do and the abject and continued misuse of it, doesn't make you look intelligent nor learned. Your sniping is childish ( almost first grade level, at best ) and , again, doesn't help your image.

But, do keep this up and then everyone, who has the misfortune to read your posts, will know, for a fact, that what I say is fact; as opposed to what they see you write.

You must be much younger than I am, as there was once a time when I imagined that writing or uttering assertions made them necessarily true.

No, dear, your use of " typography " is incorrect. It referrs to type (not typing, not anything at al to do with print on the internet ! ); you know, what the Guttenberg Bible was printed with. Movable type is NOT the same thing as words printed by a typewriter, not a keyboard used to type words to a screen . No matter how many times you try to twist things , facts go against you. You and Clinton have a great deal in common, linguisticwise.

You didn't even have a glimmer of an idea, what mellifluent meant; but, you used it and when called on it, you couldn't come up with anything other than name calling and lies.

You also called me " lazy ", for no apparent reason, called me " pooky ", made smarmy and deliberately obfuscating excuses/refutation, when caught in outright lies. All that, and you repeatedly accuse me of being off topic, when you are the one continually going off topic. You're just too full of yourself, to see how supremely silly ( not to mention boring ) a figure you are.

You want to play these games ? Then take it like an adult, when you've been chastened and rebuted; instead of being a weasel. ; ^ )
