    Excellent, and he's entirely correct too. I sometimes change my posts on this forum just because I find inadequacies with my prose style; if writing were my job I'd be incandescent with rage if someone altered my work like that.

    Edit: but it's not the best rant ever. If we're allowed to post links to exceptionally sweary stuff, then here it is.

    Yes

    Apparently she doesnt like the clothes that most people wear while playing poker (thinks that they are too scruffy etc). She needs to set a good example and strip down, especially in this hot weather.
