Hey Gerry.  What I find to be disconcerning is not so much the language, but the quotation marks.  MOS guidelines highly discourage this for good reason; it is not encyclopedic language.  I'd like to work with you in constructing a nice first sentence.  The ""an"" v. ""the"" argument is pushing around semantics and doesn't really help what I was trying to fix with the presentation of the article.  I agree with you in theory, and disagree in methodology and language.  I saw through the history before I edited the article that you contributed greatly to the subject so if you can provide something more constructive than ""unacceptable,"" I'd be more than happy to listen/read.  If not, s'okay as I have no vested interest in the subject other than maintenance of the project.  Happy editing to you.  talk "
