Albert grunted. "Do you know what happens to lads who ask too many questions?"
Mort thought for a moment.
"No," he said eventually, "what?"
There was silence.
Then Albert straightened up and said, "Damned if I know. Probably they get answers, and serve 'em right."

By "irregularities," I mean "incorrect usage in a prescriptivist sense," not irregular forms.

I have misspelled sense as sence twice now. Time to go to bed.
