"Fine" reads wrong - it should be fining.

Silly? Us here on clp, silly?

What a monstrous thought!

I'll have you know this is a respectable
establishment, and you should be grateful
that such fine, serious folk suffer your 
impertinence without taking umbrage !

Ok Steve now it's your turn to tell me it 
does not scan.

I think this thread has buggered up a perfectly
good word for me - It will be difficult, in future,
to hear the word without having to suppress
an involuntary snigger.
