- OK, Itamar - I have not been able to try it yet as I write this, but
- your guarantee is rock-solid, copper-bottomed, all wool and a yard
- wide, and conforms to BSI and DIN standards. What makes it even more
- attractive to the pedant in my soul is that it will not only be
- italicised but correct in both syntax and style.
