Distinguishing Fact from Opinion.

[Mr Gray]

Here is my post.

"For example, the capability of forensic analysis in the Cipriano case and the McCann case, as compared to what was claimed in the media, is yours for €30 IIRC.  Professora Helena Machado rings a bell.  University of Coimbra?"

If you manipulate my posts again, I will simply go the short route of reporting it.

The paper in question covered both cases.  Don't change it to Cipriano-only.  Take your Cipriano comments to the Cipriano forum.

Then if you mention cipriano don't be surprised  if others respond.... And mention cipriano

Well that is a good start.  There are plenty of words I've never come across before though., a dialect maybe? 
Do the UK citizens have certain characteristic written words as well as dialects?  Or is it like Chinese where the written language is common but the pronunciation is so different there are like two main languages?

I always test myself on Alice's posts.
