Bless her, I managed to catch this post from Debbi, today, after opening my favourite RSS reader: seems she’s found a nice little list of trivial things about the English language. How accurate it is, I don’t know.
But I do know it missed out the fact that ‘facetious’ is the only word in the language with all five vowels in alphabetical order …
Lets get moving on, shall we … ?
Shall we … ?

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
