Thanks for the tip. My first post was simply a friendly ribbin to Murray's "Two calves 'was'". Should be 'were'.

Apologies for my dripping sarcasm. Do not take it personal (in fact, I wasn't even thinking of you). Don't take that last personal either.

Personal is an adjective; you need an adverb to describe a verb.
