So? News to me, AFAIK I *never* 'presume' - if you think I do, it
shouldn't be too hard to point me to few examples then?

Whats wrong with the example I just quoted? Here it is again for you:-

You wrote:

"'I wouldnt pretend I recall the details of many sounds I heard
when I was 7' implied to me that when one was no longer 7, the
kit was tossed out (and presumably replaced?)"


Can I draw special attention to 'Implied to me' and 'presumably
replaced' in the above paragraph?

You'll have to try harder that to ask for an example of your own text
which you actually quoted in your reply!



Semasiology, Mr Molton - I presume nothing about the activities or
proclivities of others, the use of the word 'presumably' above was an
interrogative not a statement.....



at 17 I moved house.

Voluntarily?

Sorry, 18 not 17 - and yes, voluntarily - I went to uni.


....as well you should know, if 'uni' (I hate that word - it's so
immature....) did you any good at all.....!!

Btw, you are the only person I've ever encountered who considers they 'moved
house' when they went up to university...??? (Very odd phrase, if I may say
so...)
