People who run "Letters to the Editor" columns always speak
of the ones that arrive written in green ink. And, understandably
in view of my job, I've had more than my share of green ink,
purple ink & 72 pt. upper case print-outs.
Since most of us assume that `le style, c'est l'homme,' I suggest
to Andrew that he give up this tic of always referring to his native
land as AmeriKKKa or the U$. Apart from becoming slightly
irritating after the first dozen repetitions, it casts doubt on
the validity of his posts - much as they would if they were penned
on violet paper.
