"Schoolmaster Shaw appears to enjoy a level of literacy that poor Iains can only dream of (and that's not even bragging). Observe, Nigel:
"Sadly some adults can also be a naif."
Observe Idiot,
Naif a less common word for naive. adj. 1590s, from French naif, literally "naive". As a noun, first attested 1893, from French, where Old French naif also meant "native inhabitant; simpleton, natural fool."
So tell me shaw, you pretentious little fellow, which one are you?
a simpleton? or natural fool?"

Is this really what now passes for intelligent discussion on this forum?
Time to move on to senior school, don'cha think?
