    Hi! Lee,

    That was an interesting thought process. I enlisted the help of my eldest daughter, though she was unaware of your question and was not a subject in my deliberations.

    I settled on rectifying my life's regrets with the three most important women in my life.

    Thank you.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Live people make better conversationalists (so I here).

    I've thought that all my life.

    In Swedish we have the other way around "problem". Two words that are spelled exactly the same can have a totally different meaning. E.g. the word "tomten". With the same emphasis on the first part, but with an ever so minute difference in acuteness, it can mean Santa Clause (upwards) or the property lot (downwards).

    There's many other examples. Very hard for adult people learning Swedish to get right, getting rid of their accent. I guess it's one of the reasons that to some people it sounds like we are singing when we speak.

    You mean ... ABBA weren't really singing? Just reading football comments?

    On Star Trek Discovery, the crew was in the mess hall playing the "Auto antonym game" words that mean one thing and the opposite.

    "home bound"

    Interesting word game, I hadn't thought of that.

    "Cleave", there's another one.



    ... Is the style right?
