... how it is possible to enter poetry via the prose portal?

I should see my doctor about a new prescription for my anti-pedantry treatment.

Wow. Didn't think of that.

Again, people who have more innovative minds than me and pay more attention to detail. I'm just reading along like, "Oh, okay, that works."

Somebody else did notice. Somebody even put it in the Notes for TEA .. muttermuttergrumpwritethingsthatnobodyreadsgrowlmutterbuggrit

Sorry Jon. I even looked at your notes, in case I had overread that you've put it in. And I just overread it again.

I think Notes for TEA sounds interesting and I think I'd like to read it if I knew where to find it. Anyone able to help out a newbie?

Actually, come to think of it, any advice for a newbie would be appreciated...

And to return to the topic at hand, no, Vio, you're not the only one who wondered that. I just chalked it up to Mycroft being "mad as pants."

The notes were excellent. I'm quite proud of how much I (a mere Yank) was able to pick up on. Thank you for the link, Naomi!

Virtual chocolates, eh? Don't mind if I do... thanks, Simon!

I suppose it was a bad choice of name by Mycroft as I interpreted it to mean literacy in general.

Yes.... Uh, no.... Actually......I don't know.... Um, hang on.... What was the question again?

If we're going to be pedants (and I for one fully intend to be!). Then we'd have to ask how the hell JurisFICTION agents can end up in a cleaning instuctions label for a pair of pants!

...although come to think of it the instructions are pretty much fiction, as even when I follow them to the letter (or symbol anyway!) wifie still complains I've shrunk her knickers (personally I think it's all the cream cakes she eats that are "shrinking her knickers" if you get my meaning!).
