Hey, my chain is long enough to withstand any amount of yanking - knock yourself out. In my previous, I was going by what John Thaw said when he was being Inspector Morse. A bit esoteric, but the -ise vs. -ize distinction turned out to be the gotcha clue that cracked the whole case. It was his opinion that -ise is illiterate. It's one of the extremely rare instances (barring typos) when I'm willing to sacrifice literate and/or grammatical correctness for aesthetics; as I said, -ize just looks wrong and ugly to me.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
