I thought I'd give this one a shot, see if it was acceptable. If it isn't, I'll know in the future for others like it.

Trial and error is also my favorite modus operandi.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or sincere. I didn't want to clutter up the forum with asking if one like this would be okay, and figured if it's not, it can be deleted and that would be the end of it. Thanks for your input either way. :)
