Sir Joe,   Me, I don't know who was right about cavalierly and cavalier.   Are you asking your expert friends?

Why prove it?   You just said you apologize for it.

I think "thank you for your gracious apology" is a sharp way of saying you didn't.

When I know I'm wrong, I apologise.

Hill Roberts, did you apologize to maxsims for what you said about him?   You said some nasty things and they were wrong.

The operative subject would then be the plural "those many gallons," the verb would be the plural form "was," ....

Confusing....

Hello Sir Joe.    I am shy to join in before but I think what you do to maxsims is not fair.   He agree with you about what is singular and plural but you do not answer about the subject of the sentence where glensky and you give different subjects.

Also, what did your colleagues say about continuous/contiguous?
