No, although with hindsight it may be argued that I have placed a supererogatory burden on this thread by trying to elevate the use of stylised prose to a hitherto unknown zenith, therefore placing a heavier burden on the semantics of the English language than it should be reasonably expected to bear when discussing something as reasonably innoccuous as 'the common man'.
I blame Hitler, as per the internet discussion theory postulated by Less some time ago.
