Yeah, I was just gonna mention that....and that was a bloodier war than Iraq...[/quote:35644]

Seeing as how I'm not you, when I looked at that I though you mean the Falklands were bloodier then Iraq in general, not for England. I didn't think it would piss you off so much to ask for a little clarification, and I'm not flexing anything I'm just trying to make it clear to myself, you may see that as being anal-retentive I just see it as honest curiosity.

adj.
1. Not significant, especially:
a. Lacking in importance; trivial.
b. Lacking power, position, or value; worthy of little regard.
c. Small in size or amount.
2. Having little or no meaning.
2. Without essence.

The difference in these two words meant that had I not corrected you, you would have TOTALLY BEEN THROWN OFF OH NOOOOOOOO.

If it's so insignificant, and nominal to you, why even bother?

Aren't you being slightly hypocritical? You say this a non-issue yet you continue to browbeat me, over a simple misunderstanding.
