- good ol' Winny Churchill

While I think Churchill is an over glorified and unprincipled egomaniacal opportunist, I would not bet against his mastery of the English language being superior to that of anyone who would ever grace this forum.

Ouch. If you're referring to me, I'd like to point out that not everyone can afford education, or speaks English as their first language - to assume that is classist and just plain ignorant. That being said, Churchill lived in a time when the internet wasn't around; who knows, maybe he would have been a 'text talker'. You do have a rather strong grasp on the English language, maybe you could use your advantage to teach us on here who are less 'superior'.
