My prose, such as it is, must be somewhat of a product of the Scottish grammar school system of the 1950s, where spelling, punctuation, grammar and composition, both English and classical, were drilled into us with ferocious intensity and liberal application of the stout leather 'tawse'. There remains, as I've said to Brent, the problem of vocabulary, and I intend to give this more attention. If you are willing to enquire whenever clarification is needed, I'm more than willing to respond.
