Oso, you and these big words. One of Jonathan's e-mail addresses is jonty@..., and since I hate calling people by the names given them by their parents, I've decided that that's what I'm calling him, especially as I'm practically certain Jonathan's also an excellent fieldsman, like the South African cricketer <a href="http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/46973.html" rel="nofollow">Jonty Rhodes</a>, whose name also happens to be Jonathan. And always my pleasure to clarify. By the end of the Phagwah festivities Nikipedia probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between <i>abeer</i> and a beer, and if I'm not mistaken I did see him putting a bottle of <i>abeer</i> to his head at one point, while attempting to execute some Bollywood moves . . . .

And thanks for the clarification about abeer. When I read Nikipedia's version, I thought he simply missed a space between the a and b. Sounded like the beginning of a frat party.
