I must take exception to your rather imperious comments
The operative word here being "imperious" which The Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd Edition, defines as..."having the rank of, or belonging to or befitting an emperor or supreme ruler."

Hey! Thanks for the promotion. Despite serving honorably in the air farce, sorry, force I never achieved the rank of emperor or supreme ruler. Of course, that assumes that lex ludite's "your" meant moi.

Okay. I'll assume it does and accept the laurels or scrambled eggs or whatever.

Other dictionaries, as this self-proclaimed veteran writer surely must know, say much the same thing about "imperious". Some even go on to explain that it can also mean exercising a commanding influence, dominant; having a commanding position, aspect, demeanor, etc. Plus the O.E.D. rattles on about things like majesty and stateliness, etc.

So much so, it makes even this "emperor" blush.

There's also in the big books words like..."dunce" and especially appropo here "dunceDOM", but I like "imperious" the best.
