Ah-, Kiddies, Kiddies!!! This may be fun, watching a spat, but I prefer to look for other things in these threads. Prefer Colleen McCullough's "Masters Of Rome" series for my Latin and Greek, even though it it is fiction (mostly) based on real events and people. She has them say things and think thoughts they would be surprised to read if they were around today. But at least they come across as real people, even after 2,000 or more years. Hope none of these threads are being read, unedited, in two thousand years time, -what would they make of it!! You both sound like the sort of nitpicky people I have worked with on occasion, who couldn't see a forest for the trees, have to have a last word, and just love to shaft. They also carry the Cassius-Brutus gene.
That said, -as history repeats, if you recognise the signs you can anticipate the blade "sometimes", unless you're wanton. Like watching an engine for rough running I guess. Just love my history, but prefer to live in the present.
Cheers
