If you don't like that, then don't use tanru; if you want to be precise, there're a multitude of alternatives.It's not a matter of me not liking it. I just want to know if that is the intent, in light of the fact that much idiom is the consequent.
Actually, that reminds me. I think people get the wrong idea about my questions sometimes. Please don't misconstrue my questions for disgruntlement. I am simply trying to understand the "why" of things. That includes asking about possible alternate approaches --sometimes asking "why not" gives much more insight than just asking "why".--
