Oh yeah. I've not had email at home for almost a year now, and
I have been enjoying the peace. But trying to remember if I did
something after I went to work or not sometimes gets me confused.
<sigh> I must be working too hard.

I, usually, always cover my arse. As indeed I do here wth the word
"usually".

You should afford others the right to cover themselves in the same way.

To wit, when I recently said "XYZ is surprisingly strongly affected by
ABC", what I obviously meant was that the effect was large enough to
surprise me, not that it was large in absolute terms.

Nevertheless you took me to task until I was tired of answering you,
even though I asked you to show your studies of the "degree of surprise"
in average subjects when confronted with whatever idea it was. I had
a factual example to back me up, but the discussion grew tiresome before
I offered it. Your loss, not mine.

said in code.

Your particular meaning of this phrase is not obvious to me. I had to
reread this a few times to understand what your point was.

This is a different issue to the above. One is a qualifier to a phrase,
one is a phrase that is essentially, wrong in its actual meaning from
its intended meaning.

I don't recall this argument.

Ahh, I see. It might have been a language issue. Subtle
difference there I guess, when adverbs are appended like
that, as to the expected precedence . Never mind.
I would have read "Surprisingly, XYZ is strongly affected..."
quite differently, perhaps in the way you understood what I
actually wrote. Maybe a US/Oz thing. Still, we need to try
to ask what was meant rather than flatly contradict.

I agree. But often, its simply not obvious that one is discussing
different things. Its a main stay of many comedy routines. One recent
one I saw was where Frasier (the us sit comm) was discussing moving to
San Francisco, whilst the family all thought he was discussing his
presumed impeding death, like "...when I go through that Golden Gate..."

You are aware, of course, (aren't you?) that "Is what is being said in
code" not only is not a sentence, but has no referent in context, and
wouldn't mean anything even if it were/did?

Well, don't look now, but there is a non-zero probability that
it's a Kevin Ale-Ward/Reality thing. ;-p ;-p ;-p ;-p

Aw, heck, Kevin! This is the foundation of every sitcom there has
ever been! And of course, it's either the funniest or the most
nervous-laugh provoking when the hippie couple is talking about
a flea market while the republican couple is contemplating the
ramifications of group sex.
(operative word: "swap".)

Cheers!

Yes it does, its in code

Put a , after the said.
