I agreed with Chillys' wording because that type of in your face humour appeals to me, no other reason and certainly not a pop at Classic Bike mag

Billy Connolly explains

or to be blunter (more blunt? help me out Velt)

That man again

[Velton]

Hmmmm, not sure why I got mentioned but.......

I would go for "more blunt" rather than "blunter"
No special reason that I'm aware of, just sounds better to me.

Surely no-one thinks that I'm a pedant???

<~~ Busy reading dictionary for the word PEDANT ............ Ahhhhhhhh yes found it ..
Nope Velt you aren't a pedant.

[jimmy]

And I never intended to infer that you were mate. I know you have a thing about inappropriately placed apostrophies and so I assumed that you were into etymology and that was the only reason I mentioned your name. No offence meant mate

[ClassicMcNut]

<~~ Back to dictionary ... ETYMOLOGY ?? ................. Ahhh found it .
Nope I wouldn't have said Velt was into etymology
(I wish you lot would speak English like what I do)

No problem, guys.

I do have a pedantic streak, without doubt, and I've been called a lot of worse things!

You're not the only one. Umm, I think at least half of us in here are pedants of some description.
