It has come to my attention recently that the Internet is becoming increasingly beset with unseemly terms best suited to common dockers. It may alarm many of you to discover that this technological miracle which brings us such joys as means of differentiating between various species of garden bird and previews for the latest Merchant Ivory feature is in fact easily accessible to children and, indeed, women!
So, please, keep this thread free of linguistic offences for those of a more delicate nature. It may strike many as unwise for this plea to be made at an hour at which so many uncouth Antipodeans are likely to be active (and, believe me, I would be snugly abed myself were it not for the myriad delights of Limehouse's opium dens!), but I am willing to trust that our colonial cousins are able to raise themselves above their dubious criminal origins and meet my challenge.
To reiterate: the first person to use foul language on this thread is a cad of the first order.
