Mister MicawberAwful.

Mister Micawber grudgingly accept A, B and D
Why so against them? Not colloquial? Near-incorrect word usage? Overused? Verbose? Too formal/informal?

OR, perhaps my posts don't come out as I want them to, leading you to think I haven't digested your posts correctly. In fact, I'm pretty sure this is the case here.
When I say 'so against them' I mean, against using them, not against them entirely. I understand you accept them, but dislike them.
Apologies for wasting your time.
