Sorry, you misunderstood me, I was joking! It was a silly joke though, since you got annoyed. Sorry!

But you are VERY interested in linguistics and language related matters, aren't you? Most of the time, I can't follow what you write about linguistics, even in English... I just don't know all that terminology. It must be very specialised.

Minding ps and qs means speaking properly, behaving properly. Not making grammatical mistakes or speaking slang.
