Your comments negates your point. In particular, the spelling and grammar in your comment was excellent. Think you might be selling yourself a little short in those regards.

Not trying to be snarky. I’ve seen your posts before. You write quite well and clearly have a very logical mind.

Thank you so much. FR isn't usually the fountain of compliments.

I stick close to spelling and grammar checkers, thus emulating literacy. ;-D

Truthfully, I struggle with spelling. I write a lot of technical documents, perhaps more than my share because most of my peers avoid that task.

I also hunt-and-peck to type, and have been doing that since entering college way back in 1967. Being a rather stubborn and rebellious cuss, I was sure typing was of no use to me. Now I am reaching the end of a long career in computer science ... after writing God knows how much code. Sometimes I think that writing software and engineering papers fosters terrible spelling since mnemonics are prevalent in that text. Add in a touch of dyslexia; and, it is simply a miracle that anyone can read what I write.

Thanks again for your friendly comments.
