Hi Quix, please don’t take offense, I value these threads and your participation. I’m constantly fascinated by the English language and the knots people sometimes tie it in, so was unable to resist commenting on the “round circle.” Not meant as derision, except in a gentle way toward the man’s use of language (According to my wife, I myself commit far worse on a frequent basis). The story seems fairly credible, as far as I can see, and I’ve seen many others before along the same lines, going back quite a ways.
Sorry.
No offense either. I though you were on the side of reason etc. But I never keep everyone straight on such scores very well.
And I get plenty punchy what with such a recurring crop of old and new naysayers begging to get a slap-down!
Sorry.
My error. I was wrong.
