> I'm curious about something here. Is Kaz your boyfriend, or am I mistaken? If I'm not, which is obviously the case, why not say "Kaz" instead of "my boyfriend"? I mean, everyone here knows Kaz. "My boyfriend" sounds more like something you would say if he was some random guy that no one here knew. Now, I'm not saying you're a horrible person (Note: Of course, I'm not saying you aren't), I'm just wondering about your word choice there.

Yes, Kaz is my boyfriend, and his reply covers most of what I was thinking, at least as far as grammar goes.

However, I think it also bears observing that this is the sort of thing that boyfriends *in general* do, and so here it was less important to me that it's *Kaz* specifically doing it.

That and I'm sure everyone would prefer as few soppy Kaz references on the Forum as possible.
