(This is a lovely example of extralinguistic interpretation. If I had meant it as a joke I would/ought to have used zo'o - but we are not used to expressing that sort of thing as words, so Bruce imagines it's there anyway! - and to be fair, if I had meant it as a joke I possibly would not have thought to put it in.) Let that be a lesson to us all! Colin
