I left a letter off, Rapaire. The letter "k" , followed by the exclamation point. Lost in the rush of keystrokes, I suppose. If I had typed those, the letters would have formed the word. "Speak!", which is the directive form, a command to another to perform a verb. In this case, Gluon, the Quark-Speaking dog-duck.

I am sorry to see that I had to spell out in so much detail the explanation that anyone able to sift probabilities and use a tiny modicum of imagination would have concluded on their own, but in respect of our long friendship I am happy to do it for you. I know you would never take advantage and would only ask for that sort of help if you really needed it.
