Yeah, the reason I recall is that it seemed daft not to use conversational English, but there you go. Dept of Health Style Guide circa 2004.

Mind you, the context of the thread is just as important. I was taking the piss out of Joe at the time. Needed a way to inject "pious" into it, and weak as it was, it was all I had.

Turning it into a thread is delicious though, given the old mission and all that.

Thanks Freddy..
