neutral  Charlesp: yes, but aren't you being a bit too strong here. As a lawyer complaining (on behalf of client, of course), and asserting a default, this might be ok. But doesn't it lack nutrality?

disagree  Andrew Bramhall: Not approved by the Committee for the Campaign for Plain English Use Amongst Austronauts.
