.....but I want to clear up a huge misconception. (And I don't mean to sound like "The Grammar Police" or anything of the sort, but the misuse of certain terms and language is my pet peeve.)

:I have a few Qs for her, woman-o-womano.

I see you've used a spin on the phrase "mano a mano". The term "mano a mano" does not mean "man to man", as many people believe it does. It actually means "hand to hand", as "mano" is both the Latin and Spanish word for "hand", and "a" is the Latin/Spanish word for "to".

That is all.
