My prose, such as it is, must be somewhat of a product of the Scottish
grammar school system of the 1950s, where spelling, punctuation,
grammar and composition, both English and classical, were drilled into
us with ferocious intensity and liberal application of the stout
leather 'tawse'. There remains, as I've said to Brent, the problem of
vocabulary, and I intend to give this more attention. If you are
willing to enquire whenever clarification is needed, I'm more than
willing to respond.
