''Dear Sir,''

''Thank you most kindly for pointing out my typographical error; though I myself might have ceased battling with the keyboard after reaching a round score of emphasis markers – if indeed a single mark of punctuation had not sufficed. Might I congenially suggest a spot of revision on the Law of Exclamation?''

''Bringing myself now to the matter at hand, I would put it thusly. 'Tis much the way of the world, perhaps, that when one such as myself spends such a copious amount of one's time throwing the most gentle and unread profanities at the world, that occasionally one's fingers slip, and a hydrological barrage becomes a once blasphemous, but now every-day curse.''

''Another way to look at it might be as – in essence – a matter of probability. Which is to say, that when one adds seven-hundred characters to an encyclopaedic entry on a subject, the chances that one such character is the letter 'n' are relatively high. Further, that one such character should find itself deposited in such an unfortunate position, such as to render one word – hitherto correct – into another, is not beyond the bounds of reason.''

''Thus in future, might I suggest perchance, that correcting an error one's self in a most stealthy and silent manner might be better appreciated by all parties, and indeed serve one's own standing in the community much more favourably?''

''Yours, most grandiloquently,''

''Woodgreener''
