This is getting sillier as time passes. You're not just a jackass; you're also
a buffoon. Are you studying to take over for D-Mac when he retires from
Usenet?

It wasn't a typo.

Through ignorance, you used the wrong word.

No, moron. I also play bass-guitar and 12-string guitar (as well as five
other instruments fluently).

Like anything you say is credible. I'll bet you have neither guitar nor a
camera.
