It seems you imagine my speech would pause after the word 'but', is
that the case? I wrote that line exactly as I'd say the sentence,
I'd not pause after the word 'but'.

I did not imagine anything. Just because you don't talk proper doesn't
mean that not writing proper should be a natural consequence.

How do you know I don't talk properly,

You claim that the way you write is how you speak: "I wrote that line exactly
as I'd say the sentence..."


When on Usenet I generally reply in a quickly typed, highly informal,
conversational style. I never spell-check and I very rarely proof read -
there are better things to waste my time upon. I find the informal
approach lends itself to the kind of lively banter often seen in
uk.rec.motorcycles, the newsgroup where I'm currently reading this
delightful cross-post.

Thanks for sharing that with us. It's always rewarding when first
impressions are proved accurate.


In a single sentence I'd not make a pause, there's no point in doing
so, it's a one line interruption.

Errrk! Could you repeat that, using sensible punctuation, so that it
makes sense to the reader rather than just the speaker?

Perhaps not.

Treat it as though I was rudely interupting your diatribe, butting in
without drawing a single breath.

"Anyhow, I see no point in carrying on with this...
