    Sublime! (Which, as you defined in a previous "Improving Words (7)" means "What British sailors traditionally eat on an undersea vessel.")

    Nicely done as usual!

    Would you want me to reference your blog or provide your name?

    RO: Maybe we should do a joint venture.....

    Nan: That's fine -- but yes, if you do post this (or anything of mine) on Facebook, please include a link back to my blog. Thanks.

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning: anything supporting transgender ideology, or negative toward Brexit, or in favor of a military draft or compulsory national service, will be deleted. I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent.

No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.

Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
