Dr. Rev Paul Hackson.

A doctor AND a reverend? He's keeping all bases covered.

It certainly does sound like "he" has been de-educated a bit. Many of the mistakes appear to be deliberate. The punctuation and use of upper and lower-case is better than most lads, but the content is pretty funny.

Sounds like a fun one to play with a bit. Wink

By the way, it is not unusual for reverends to also be doctors. Many ministers/priests have doctorate degrees in theology.
