I know you’re but a bairn @ReturnToSenda and you’re fond of the vernacular but surely you could stick to ‘cos’ for because. Cause is good in the sense of being responsible for a particular outcome and @DevC’s Samaritans are a good cause but, for me, it doesn’t work as a substitute for ‘because’. Call me old-fashioned! 🥸
I probably speak for Micra and others of a similar age group, but the only ELO I know is that excellent band of musicians known as the Electric Light Orchestra!
@AlanCecil (a mere youngster) is a dedicated fan, I seem to recall. I wasn’t quite as excited as Alan when Jeff Lynne brought out an album a couple of years ago but I bought the CD and it’s overdue for a playing and will be filling the airwaves shortly.
There’s a very simple and contemporary solution @Malone. ‘Cause is a perfectly etymologically correct abbreviation of ‘Because’ and that tiny apostrophe would obviate (eventually, when we get used to it) the initial puzzle as to what is being said.

A great ensemble @Twizz.
Cause and effect, as it were.

'Cos' is late noughties teenager (of which I was one) text speak!
This algorithm must have come out of the blue for you then...
Indeed, it's some kind of strange magic to me ...
Some of these pop references just bring me down.

Course he can use cos instead of cause or because coz it'd be well confusing , dare I say coarse, otherwise.

Is it the same supercomputer that predicted the Blues to gain 2 points in the final game of last season?
You know it's almost time for the season to restart when we've resorted to endless puns and debating the use of apostrophes.
I'm just looking up at the Blue Sky ...
