Lest you think that this article is something less than authoritative, I will first explain a little about myself, so you will be able to have confidence in the rest of the article. My name is Jonny Appleseed. I am an honorary lawyer. How do you know that I am an honorary lawyer? Well, first of all, notice that I have a vocabulary that is larger than your's. I know big words, like disproportionate, inordinate and, authoritative. This should tip you off right from the start.
