Answer all the questions Mary. Not just the ones that make you feel like you're doing Gods good work and will make Him look favourably on you.

Then why are you telling us to "watch your space"?

You positively demand the focus to be on you.

So you will all observe the new tagline, when it's up.

Why not put it up now?
And it's hilarious that you don't realise how what you're saying so blatantly demands attention and for the focus to be on you.
It's like making everyone aware of it so that everyone can see it at once.
And let me guess - "omg engurlund 7-0 fracne!1"
Or at least, that's what you hope.

Actually, that's been a convention of the English language for a while. As we're ostensibly a protestant country, our rules of grammar take into account our national religion. Hence God is always referred to as He, His, Him etc.
Or to put it another way, yes it's about respect and admiration for God. A pity Mary doesn't know such basic things about his own faith...

But why?
That's my point.
It's being pedantic really, but I want to see if he can actually put forward some kind of well constructed answer.
Asking a lot, I know, but I can always hope.

The Why of the matter is that a nation's God of choice is always referred to in the upper case. It has been a convention of the English language pretty much since it's inception that when referring to God, capitals will always be used. So in the sentence;
"And then He said to him 'You really are a bigoted little prig, aren't you Mary?' To which he replied 'I love You better than anyone else! Please tell me I'm worthwhile!'"
we know that God is talking to someone called Mary because of the capitalisation of He and You.
Does that make sense or am I talking asshat?
