Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wow. You have the power to notice the incorrect vocal use of a homonym. That's amazing.

You should have used "Of coarse" instead of "of course" though...

So you're saying that use of the English language can't be an area of expertise for someone with a post-graduate degree?
