I think there's too much padding; just get to the point.

Perhaps just wrap your script around a brick and fling it at him.

Wouldn't it be rather wonderful to get my big break for "The Forum" on an actual forum?

PS. My last boss' name was Micheál.

That would do it for me, though nul points for having a fada in the PS but not the beginning of the letter.

I'd love to know how many people just Googled "fada".

I can't believe that would do, with such a blatant split infinitive boldly showing...

I just looked it up in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Here is what the Guide has to say about Fada:

Fada, it says, is the capital of the Ennedi Ouest department of Chad, lying in the Ennedi Plateau. It has a population of 23,786 (As of December 2005).It is known for the surrounding cave paintings and rock formations, while the Guelta d'Archei and a wood growing in a wadi are local attractions.

It then goes on infinitum to explain how to get there from Alpha Centuri when the starcruiser you have sneaked aboard is suddenly eaten by the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, and so forth and so on...

Now I'm more confused than ever!

Def.

Oi asked me Ma what it meant but she told me to speak to me fada.

You have a marvellous ear for dialogue, Marc.

Well in Portugese I think it means 'oaf' but I guess really he's talking about the accent over the 'a' in Micheal...LOL

Properly, it's a sine fada. Not many Irish speakers on here then. Google that.

guess my explanation is right...do I go to the top of the class?

Is is a sine qua non or can you choose not to use it though?
