Okay, I knew this was going to happen sooner or later.. I'm lost. What are you banging on about?
Well, if I am any judge (and I'm not), you used that phrase just right. :) Anyhow, I was referring to what TDOL said earlier, thus: "It's sad to hear people banging on about Shakespeare as a justification for claiming to be superior." I have only recently run across that expression, and I have taken a shine to it. (That's an American expression meaning I like it.)

Can it get any more embarrassing than this? *praying a black hole will open and swallow me up* I woke up this morning and realized that it had to be British English and that to indicate that you wrote it in italics... I had never seen or heard it before (which doesn't mean ANYTHING).

See that's what I meant - the simplest things still confuse me. Especially when I'm tired!

Gotta run. I'm late for work!!! But I just HAD to come here before I leave and prove I'm not a complete idiot. :D
