Although,we, non-native English speakers resent you for depriving us of the fun to retaliate your witty sense of humor and should join our voices together in a campaign to demand a ban on the use of slang, I can’t afford to miss this opportunity to thank you for your friendly & warm personality, your insightful Excel contributions and for making this web-site a real pleasure to visit !
All the very best and many congratulations to you.

I prefer to think of it as mining the depths of American culture. [sniffs haughtily] I actually debated between "gee willikers" and "yumpin' yeehosiphats". I selected the former because I believed it yielded more of a "Leave It to Beaver" feel. And while the latter better expresses shock, it seemed a bit too Yosemite Sam. (Well, that and I love to keep Erik looking through his dictionary. :wink
