I would encourage you never to use the proscribed mechanics. The prescribed mechanics are the ones to use.

Ahhh, reminds me of the halcyon days when Mr. Annoying Grammar Guy frequented this board, freely dispensing reproof. I'm misting up a little.

Don't worry: I pick my spots, and only for those who ought to know better.
