I like your waving smiley Murihiku. 
Yeah, I wish I had discovered Duolingo years ago. I am now up to 50 days straight of practice, which is a miracle for me. If I had found it when I first started studying I would be along way ahead now. Ah well, c'est la vie. 
Krabo, tiny specks sounds kind of poetic and profound.

That sounds so wrong out of context.
Yes it does!
Chalk it up to my cherubic innocence and naïveté that I did not notice it either!I think I used to, but after tripping all over myself to edit so much, I realized that nearly everything sounds like a double entendre. So it sounds just as bad, sounding like I'm trying to avoid writing everything a certain way. Now I just write what I write.
A million tiny specs, even more so.
Or it could mean your kitchen is overrun by black ants, or the dog has a really, really bad flea infestation.

I shall start calling you cherub now! I certainly don't think 'cherubic innocence' is my excuse, more likely I was just tired.
You just keep writing how you write Theta, you can't spend your whole time worrying about being misinterpreted just because some people have dirty minds.

Now I'm imagining fleas everywhere, and I'm all itchy.

I know what you mean. If I think too much about what I type I end up editing my own posts over and over again, even after I've submitted them. So sometimes I end up posting without even thinking about what I'm writing. I still can't believe I actually wrote "ooh, ooh, ooh!" on another thread.
(I'm looking at you Murihiku
) Shush, you. I can't have a dirty mind and be easily fooled, while yous are all busy looking at me.

This is an interesting statement. Let's adopt the following notations.
D = Have a dirty mind
F = Be easily fooled
L = All of us looking
Now,
(a) L → ¬D & ¬F ≡ ¬(D ∨ F)
[This is your own statement]
(b) ¬L → D ∨ F
[Negation of (a), when nobody is looking, either D or F, but not both]
Question: Under what circumstances would D & F be true?

Hey, I never said that you were easily fooled.
@Krabo, I refuse to do any kind of equation before 8am.

"That's no equation, it's a logic diagram!"

Good question. I suppose it is possible: e.g., a person who is gullible and obsessed with sexual innuendo. A few guys I knew as teenagers come to mind.
I wouldn't consider myself as being such a person, though. Hopefully that's true. 
A question for you: I'll admit I haven't studied Boolean algebra in over ten years so I could be wrong, but wouldn't the negation of statement (a) be D ∨ F → ¬L (following the form P → Q ∴ ¬Q → ¬P)?
