Nice short article and a decent video, but in dire need of an editor. Mispelled “dignitaries” twice.

    I’ve noticed that spelling and grammar is a lost art. Being in the USA, I won’t comment on pronunciation.

    I’m a bit mollified by the Estonian reception.

      I can forgive it but mispelling it two different ways in such short succession speaks to frightening discombobulation unlesd IG they tried to mispell it twice but typo’d :0

        Autocorrect is a 🤬. I have no idea what was going on with my keyboard the other day, I was typing English, my message displayed English, on screen. I posted it, answered a call, and when I looked again it was partly English, partly Mexican Spanish.

        Beyond all that, my smart devices made me dumber than dirt with regard to spelling, remembering phone numbers, and to a lesser extent, grammar; but I largely blame that on myself, having picked up the habits of my current neighborhood. I’m working on improving it, so do please call me out on my nonsense!
