I'll be the judge of that.

No-ones ever been able to bother me into writing a tag in upper case, so this
is of little consequence.

This means p should have one. Annoying.

That's would be major drain on the ol' brain. Esply that space.

Which means?

Sounds doable.

Can't recall last I used a such. Probably involved "table border".

Luck I don't use ampersands much.

Comments happen to other people.

I wasn't aware you could do without them before?

I'm sure you're hiding something! :)
