But then I thought you were maybe making a larger, meta-joke (hi Baudrillard!) in order to have a laugh, and so I added the second sentence (yes I know the three-word string that opened my post was not a sentence but you know what I'm sayin') to explain my revised thinking using a colloquial phrase from the British Isles which I find amusing for utterly unimportant reasons. So the answer is no. Sorry.

Oh, now I get it. Yes, it was a homonym error. The problem (actually they are many, but I won't go there now) is that most of my posts occur when I'm on the phone allegedly doing other things and my brain misfires when I'm multi-tasking.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
