"Maybe you are learning"

Maybe. If it's a fact, at least it would demonstrate that I have the capacity to learn. Your continued nitpicking, despite your being repeatedly censured for it over a long period by other posters, clearly demonstrates your lack of capacity in that regard.

At least it has avoided your normal practice of using crude invective to try to make your point."

Words are just words. Any 'crude invective' I may occasionally use (and it is indeed occasional, your claim that it's 'normal' is simply a deceitful attempt to 'take the high moral ground' and therefore beneath contempt) is put there deliberately in order to achieve an effect - successfully, it would appear.

In any discussion, I have considerably less interest in others' use of 'crude invective' than I have in the quality of the ideas and opinions they express. I'm not a Puritan, and if an occasional expletive helps someone to express themselves, so be it. Experience has made me adult enough to accept their need to express themselves in that way, even though others seize upon the fact of that use (or mis-use) of language in a vain and deceitful effort to detract from the quality and validity of the argument being put forward, by 'taking the high moral ground' over language rather than addressing the issue itself. And, of course, attacking the words others use is far easier than disproving the point they're making.

So carry on nitpicking if you wish - be my guest. Nitpicking others' choice of words - 'crude invective' or otherwise - or their typos, or their genuine mis-spellings, or their failure to notice changes made by auto-text, proves nothing, it's just evidence of your own paucity of counter-argument, and an immature need on your part to score points. Very childish, very sad.
