Yes Mom.
Look I know how to "speak proppa" when I need to. This however was just a
quip.
One of my pet hates is grammar nuts on email lists.

Well the book longnitude has them accurate to a few seconds a month on a
heavily pitching ship (though captain Cook (discoverer of Australia) had =
17
of them on board).
Traditional grandfather type clocks are probbably on the order of a secon=
d
or 2 per day.

Is that better?

the thing only has 2 sentances does it really make that much of a
difference?
