It takes a truly stupid person to say he has seen it all.
At least you made some sense. Once a person goes beyond season they don't think clearly.
BTW,what is the purpose of the capital letters? Do you imagine it supports your argument. Reason would be better suited to the task.
It has been my experience that a person as cock sure as you, are among the first to pull their own pin.

capital letters instead of italics or bold - just a different method of emphasis - just because you could not figure that one out.....

To put it in easier terms - a BOLD word signifies one that, if spoken, would have had added inflection for emphasis. Maybe you speak in a monotone, but I don't and neither do I write in a mono"tone(?)".

Did you figure out that last one? A bit more advanced than the basic ". , ; ! ?"

If you wanted to pantomine that last, you would see someone do the stupid "double quotes" with the index and middle finger of each hand extended and slightly curved downward and the other fingers tucked loosely out of the way. The fingers would then be wiggled downwards a couple of times conjunctively to signify QUOTE / UNQUOTE.
(The capital letters here make it clearer that the words QUOTE and UNQUOTE were to be seen/read as proper names)

And as far as pulling my own pin ... you could not even imagine what I have been through and I would lay odds that you would have already killed yourself years ago if you had to go through the same.

Am I "cock sure" of myself? Damned right!

End of lesson...
