Great writing style. How much your credibility dropped down?

Here two very different points are weirdly mixed together.
First, you should be able to explain your point of view, or you lose the argument; that is why.
Second, claimed years of experience appear to be limited to your shares and your pattern of usage only.
No, I do not need the list of your files.
You have yet to learn what are generalization and abstraction.

I wonder why you might need absurd arguments?

You never know when it is accurate, and the number of sources changes with time. Therefore that time is "never".
Also, you twice ignored my question about huge discrepancies in numbers.

Only your honest word proves it is small.

Again you start babbling instead of thinking first.
What if it is universal opinion? Should be good enough.
Trivial examples of unwanted files might be fakes, poorly encoded media, broken archives, protected files without password/access key codes.

You just ignored Oxford it at first, remember?
Instead, for no reason, you wrote that British rules differ from American.
While that might be true, it does not mean there is difference in that particular rule.
Again, your logic is nonexistent.

You just cannot read at all, can you? Shall I translate from English to English for you?
"Nearly" means "not always". In ofther words, there are cases where different rule might be applicable.
"Simplest usage" means that more complex rules do exist in English language.
I already suggested you to visit Cambridge site; but you ignored that too.

Pathetic.
Use more Latin, laugh more at guides, discuss credibility ...
Usually I would not care, but you behaved like a snob.

The very first example from Oxford dictionary site:
That is the secret of my extraordinary life: always do the unexpected.
Would you rather learn proper English rules instead of 'for dummies' version - before arguing?
And I repeat: the very first example (second example would do too, though).
Ain't that you who needs real reading - or even basic reading skills improvement for starters?
