Sure as sarcasm allows.

>>> We were discussing what the rule is. <<<

No, "we" are discussing the actual events as they happen. You are stuck in some
endless argumentative loop regarding the word "option".

>>> Is zeroth even a word? Can I use it in scrabble? <<<

Abbzoelootly!  And you won't be challenged successfully if you glare well
enough.

I will stand on my recommendation that we make the option to defer officially
the zeroth option.  Motion made, do I hear a second.

(Oh, you laugh... but, two of my pet peeves were addressed by the ASA
