Sir !
I do beg your pardon most humbly .
However , it is my unfortunate duty to point out , unto you , your lack of mentioning the most elegant of terms for that component which elevates one's saddle significantly above one's bicycle-frame .
Although some ( surely the lower classes ) may term such an item a "seat-post" , or some such other crude and unseemly term . . .
We would prefer to only hear ( and see ) the term Saddle-Pillar , henceforth .
Everyone please adjust all of your own vocabularies , immediately .
That is all .
