New Edition of "The Chicago Manual of Style"

Big tears?

"mote", not "moat"! Frigginell! And I know about moats, cos
we had one (dried up and grassy) at the castle in the city wot
I came from. I still remember a primary school trip there, which
is odd, cos it was nothing special at the time, it was only
5 minutes' walk from where I was born and grew up. But that
"trip" sticks in my memory.

Arthur :O)

Oh, RIIIGHT! (I think.) I'm so upset that the very air around
me is rent by my screams of dismay. "rent", not "rent"!
"rent" wouldn't make sense in this context! Sheesh!

:O) - you are plaster? What's all that about? You can't go 'round calling
yourself a verb, people will talk... You could add Ian or another "I" word
to your name, I guess. But what, then, is a Poyser?

Just a semi-obscure Gary Numan quote, nothing to worry
about. Why would I add "Ian" when my name is "Martin"? Strange!

A "Poyser" is the S.I. unit of rampant sexiness, as defined thus [1]:

One Poyser is the amount of sexual moolah that will pull
one sexy babe from a distance of two metres, in less than 10 sentences,
after she has consumed 0.00025m^3 (25mL) of pure ethanol, within the
preceding 3600 seconds, in an SI accredited nightclub. The reverse holds
for the inverse gender case. Test objects for measuring sexual
moolah of test subjects may be obtained from S.I. accredited suppliers
http://www.piaoliang-nuhai.cn and their accredited agents.

I'm currently somewhere around half a kiloPoyser. (Daaaayumm!)
