SavageduckI read a lot of books, but I rarely read a book the second time. Out of choice, that is. I have been known to take out a book from library and get well into it before I realize I've read it years before.

Perhaps a virtual inundation of substantiations was meant to imply a metaphoric onslaught. ...maybe a flood, or even a plethora of substantiations might end up described so?
Or maybe just a large quantity of substantiations that Tony has had a hard time coping with? I.e. what actually has happened everytime I've used the word.
Only the times when you use an inappropriate word.
You are free to point to any such time, Peter. Be my guest. I am happy to be corrected when I make mistakes. Be sure to point to the post of my inappropiate usage and substantiation for how and why it was inappropriate.
I'm waiting.
Just look at and read any of your postings in which Tony orI corrected your English. And that's as far as I go with you English lesson.
The Popinjay will never admit to error. He uses a Catch 22 form of logic in this area. For example, he maintains that to substantiate a claim that someone ignored a valid point in a post, you must cite something in which that person declared they were omitting reference to that point. In other words, you must show where the person acknowledged the point to show that the person ignored the point. We are no better off than Yossarian in following this kind of logic.
"Help him! Help the bombardier." "...but I am the bombardier."
"Catch 22" is the one book that I read over-and-over. Not front-to-back as I normally read a book, but with Catch 22 I can open the book at any page, start reading, and be able to follow the story from memory. A very tattered paperback copy sits on my nightstand.
It is the same copy that I read for the first time in the early 1960s when living in Chicago. I'd read the book on the El and stop reading when I was laughing too hard to continue to read. Sometimes I'd put the book down, sit there for five or six minutes, and then start laughing just remembering what I'd read.
Quite often the seats near me on the El remained empty. People just didn't want to sit next to a person who burst out in laughter for no apparent reason.
