Sparks shouldn't get near the gas jugs, but now that you've mentioned
it, I could get them away from there, and will.
Thanks.

I hate two words. Should and probably.


They're different.

"Should" implies a moral and superiority judgment on the part of one's
self-appointed betters.

"Probably" is a dispassionate evaluation of the circumstances by a logical
mind.


Now I hate them even more. AND you.

Just kidding about the second part.


Should we change "should" to shall?

Probably not, but we _ought_ too!
