4) Wally played these games, no doubt, to obfuscate the fact that he
8 - dishonestly "quoted" Apple by claiming the ad did not use the phraseSnitRequiem, Op. 45
"last year". This whole grammar side issue is irrelevant to Wally's initial lie, but he is trying mighty hard to obfuscate it.

nor with supporting the use of improper grammar.
How much trolling will Wally do over the above facts?
I'll bet you send food back in restaurants, huh? A lot? Be honest, now.
I do not do so often, though I have rarely. Why do you ask?
