Dorogaya Katusha,

To cite an aphorism long cherished by the cognoscenti of tobacco-smokers, "What do you want, good grammar, or good taste?" While I had taken my daily ration of piracetam, it would appear that my grammatical acumen, (involving an edit of the prepositional fragment "for the", in which I made ablative use of the space bar creating the morphologically errant fragment "fort those", conjuncted with less than attentive sight-editing on my part (I refused, a priori, to genuflect to that chimerical spell-check occasioned us by the ubiquitous digital Trojan Horse, (with its authority so structured as to conform to the Protocols of the Learned Elders of the Court of Byzantium), thus compomising orthographic elegance, and failing to reach that most lofty bar of aesthetic quality under whose shadow you have so very correctly pinioned me. Mea culpa! I egegriously combined high-quality Belgian pharmaceuticals(in the form of Piracetam/Nootropil) with low-quality Moldavian cognac, which compounded my post-Wittgensteinian transgression, and for the commision of such I can offer no sound or valid defence, and thus, by the lashing inherent in your rebuke, I stand chastised. Res ipsa loquitur.
Properly pilloried, I remain your humble servant,

Ilya Muromec
