Okay, well I had to do that since Mr. Annoying Grammar Guy has yet to be replaced.

No, not at all. Howard is a by the book kinda guy -- except for 3 seconds. But my point is exactly that in areas where there is a strong tradition of how to interpret things, it's best to go by that tradition, just like we use Howard's 3 second rule here, rather than the legality of the book.
Gee Juulie, does that make you the annoying Grammer Gal?

Sorry.....I couldn't resist

Great to see you last night...it's been awhile! Now that test night (and we all hopefully passed) is over the courts are safe once again!
