Mr. Serious,
Have you even snickered at one of the jokes in this thread? Or are you
trying to make a joke now? Granted, we are discussing the whether an
aitch should be pronounced, but there are clear jokes peppered in this
thread that you seem to take a little to literally.
A linguist would write a book on language, rather than a technical
writer, because a linguist needs to discuss historical and sociological
subject matter in addition to the technical subject matter in the book.
