I'll just leave him to the girlie that gets "monogamy" and "monotony" mixed up.
"I'm not spending another night with a woman whose favourite colour is beige." Incredibly Hot Scots Detective Andy in Minette Walters' perfect first mystery thriller, "The Ice House".
Also, in terms of punctuation, who is it who always yells "Fragments! There are too many sentence fragments!"
