@billbennettnz Yes it does, perhaps unfortunately. It would be good to have fewer eccentricities, stupidities though. (PS I teach English to people with a regular more phonetic alphabet, spelling, without 2,3,4 plus ways to spell the same sound)
@billbennettnz Particularly business reports and proposals - if the author can’t get the words right, I wonder what else in the report they have got wrong.
@billbennettnz Wow, I’ve been reading your stuff for years. There was never any hint of the brilliance of this piece. It is a masterpiece, utterly unexpected and totally worthy of praise.
Now you can retire. You can never top this and if you become determined to somehow do it, you could work yourself into oblivion trying. So just accept that you did it and let it be. Go on to something else, something entirely different.
Perhaps a sonnet, a mathematical proof, or a collection of irrelevant trivia. Just enjoy yourself for a change.

@Ron I don’t know why, but your reply reminds me of Woodhouse, especially the last sentence.
After reading his Wooster and Jeeves books as a kind of mental comfort food during the lockdown: I’m alert to the style.
@billbennettnz Very interesting. I will seek out his books. I’ve seen them, but don’t think I’ve ever read them, even though they are famous. I could use some mental comfort food!
@JohnPhilpin You mean P. G., the creator of Jeeves? How am I connected in your mind with such people? Are you starting a fan club?
@JohnPhilpin Aha, now I see again what he wrote. I truly must seek out some Jeeves to read! I could benefit from some comfort.
