I think that sentence is also better for a little appropriate
Actually, "I should of course said" is still wrong - missing a verb
component - should be: "I should of course have said".
punctuation: "I should, of course, have said". The commas also help
guide you to the correct verb choice, instead of getting confused as
to whether "of" is your verb.
Yes, I thought of that after posting; thanks for the correction.
(I better stop replying now before we get too far sidetracked from
perl vs. Perl vs. PERL vs. pERL .......)
Just for the record, that was never my plight. But alas it is no use, I
see, given of all the closed-mindedness abound; what ever happened to
free thinking? Not one soul had actually addressed the question itself:
why is it wrong to use PERL if 'perldoc perl' gives it a meaning that
can be shortened to just "PERL"? I don't expect a straight answer given
what's already transpired, and this is the last time I will ask it.
