Backpedal as hard as you like; you are just making a fool of yourself.

Perhaps if, when you decided to be a pompous arsehole, you had said
"technically" instead of "literally" you may have had a platform from
which to make your pompous case, one which you have failed to do,
unable to cite anything to support your pompous assertions. You didn't
and don't.

You done fucked up you pompous ass.

What a word literally means (notice that I don't use the quotes around
"literally" because they're not appropriate in this context) does change
with context.

Are you actually claiming that you believe I don't know the rules for
actual racing vs time attack?

Yes or no.

Not to mention spelling, pronunciation, tense, number, grammar, and
total misuse of words.

The one that amuses the the most is the likes of "Please do this
already !". An apparent anomaly in the time-space continuum ...

I have a great idea for F1. Would solve the problem of cars impeding
each other (etc).

Race the one at a time against the clock.
