In article , Malcolm writes: | | Which is why I doubt that Murton said it. | | Well, you're wrong. It is possible. However, of the couple of dozen times I have checked up on your claims, in over 3/4 of the cases you have misquoted. I do not know why, but it is irrelevant - all it means is that I am not prepared to take your word for it when you say that "X says Y". | I got caught before by Dr O | misquoting Stace, and maligned Stace by assuming that Dr O's quote was | correct. | | I did not misquote Stace. My quote was 100% word-for-word correct, as a | comparison between my post and the book will confirm. Your memory is at | fault. Please apologise. I was not referring to that case, but to a much earlier one - actually, if I recall, more than one. I shall bother asking you to apologise. | What you did was to malign Stace because you didn't bother to find out | by contacting him, as I did, exactly what he meant by the terminology he | used. When I posted what Stace had said to me, you thanked me. I did not malign him in that case. I said that his usage was either an error or he had used a new and bizarre definition of the word "native". It turned out to be the latter. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
