Kroil Oil works exceptionally well on just about any type of rusted or
frozen parts. You can purchased it directly from Kano Labs in a spray
can, oil sqiurt can, or a closed container. If you buy a packaged
kit, you can get all of these at a fairly inexpensive price. It's the
only product that I would buy for our maintenance department and
machine shop for that type of problem. I've been able to apply it to
bolts that were siezed-up in machinery that had been left in the
weather for years. The parts could be loosened within 10 minutes.

Very interesting and revealing. Thanks.

My inclination is to say that you're welcome. However, I don't think
any cynicism that may inhere is baseless considering your penchant for
denigrating others. In fact, I'd wager that you suspect that you have
seredipitously stumbled upon information that you may be able to
exploit in the future in your various campaigns of character
assassination. Though, I think a thoroughly recondite defense of my
unsolicited blurb in relying on what Desiderius Erasmus described of
Sir Thomas More to parallel my own assorted vocations may not be
beyond you. But, then again, perhaps it is. You can always blame it
on my tortured 'prose,' if the latter is the case.

All cynicism aside, though, you're welcome.

Nothing nefarious. Your far simpler language and simple spelling errors
in the "Kroil post" tell me what I need to know.

You've deduced that I have the capacity to transpose vowels on
occassion, and that I'm as apt to leave behind sloppy editing as well?
Or is it that you've discovered that I can mingle well with the
audience? Perhaps it reveals that I don't use a spell checker? It
certainly couldn't be the case that I sometimes try to squeeze notes
into a busy day. Whatever the case may be, Harry, I think that you're
merely clever by half, even in your evaluations. Again, perhaps I'm
just cynical.

(Perhaps I'm just a Slade devotee.)

Your conclusions on my deductions are incorrect. Let's just say that
any decent English teacher would be able to put together an hilarious
class based upon your "fogged up" prose. Some of your tortured prose
reads as if it were fed through an English language complicator/mixmaster.

Serendipitously, indeed.

I suppose I'll have to refer to the Hodge's Harbrace when I get home
to check the legitimacy of your "an hilarious" construction. I can do
that in an hour, I think, over lunch. I don't know why I don't keep a
"Harbrace" here at the office. Perhaps, it's that you're falling back
on more esoteric usage to help 'clear' the air. I can appreciate
that.

Esoteric? Those of us of a certain age who actually studied English
formally learned that in speech "an" was used before a word beginning
with an "h" if the first syllable of that word was unstressed. The first
syllable of "hilarious" is unstressed. Another example, perhaps more
familiar: "An" historian.

Surely your English language complicator/mixmaster "knows" that.

, whether or not the h is silent.

As if! I'll trade you my English language complicator/mixmaster for
your Wayback Machine.

I don't need one. I can write at many levels of complexity, and pick the
one appropriate for the audience. Here, for example, I try to write
prose that measures Grade Level 6 with a Reading Ease Score in the low
80's on the Flesch-Kincaid scale. Those are the scores that used to be
used as optimum on the copy desks of most big city newspapers.

My guess is that FauxNews strives for Grade Levels 4-5, with a Reading
Ease score in the mid-90's...about the same as the Sunday comics.
