There appears to be a statistically significant correlation between

I think the front is a sharp definition of who uses Opera and or
Firefox compared to those who use IE.

That and the fact that all non touch typists hit the wrong key or miss

A more worthy query is why someone would use a service provider such a
BT and yet quibble about someone else's grammar.


Is the word 'quibble' appropriate?
meaning : to pun, cavil, shuffle, equivocate or trifle.
