Sorry
@kleenex , this looks to be never ending.

Well, you seem to have understood that I was not talking about the package when I said:-
The package looks like scales.
When in actual fact the package looks like a box or rectangular paper wrapper for a chocolate bar.
When it is actually the
picture on the wrapper that looks like scales. I would find it hard to believe that anyone would think that the actual wrapper is made of scales.
So then I say:-
Dragon scales - good. Snicketypoosna's - not good.
Break apart the two sentences thus:-
1. Dragon scales - good.
2. Snicketypoosna's - not good.
Then to analyze:-
if in sentence 1. we are talking about 'dragon' scales being is
good
and then in sentence 2. we are saying something is
not good
and seeing as there were only four nouns in the whole post - package, scales, dragon and snicketypoosna I
(obviously mistakenly) assumed most people would understand I was also talking about scales in the 2nd sentence.
Only other noun that could be used would have been package which would have meant
dragon scales - good
snicketypoosna package - not good
That does not make sense even to me.
Now I'd like to think that most people would have been able to figure that out and/or give me the benefit of the doubt to have the intelligence to have further explained in the post and not leave it as such a cryptic message.
