Now my dear young lady, I am afraid I have to disagree with you but in a polite manner of course.
The words "I win" are a "terminal" expression meaning a final situation.
This of course is impossible while the thread is still active.
The words "I am winning" is a temporary expression meaning "at this moment in time" which is far more appropriate in this thread.
To be a "winner" in any event, the event must have been completed, finalised, finished, ended no longer applicable.
So my dear young lady, now that I have posted in here you are no longer in the "winning" position which I believe proves my point.
This in no way makes me the winner as in no time at all another will post and take my leading position, wont you Betty !!! But just watch, the words used.
