At the outset let me say that I do admit when I make mistakes and I try to correct them. Anything wrong with such a practice?
As for Merwyn's point, my saying that South Africa has taken to hockey recently is in regard to India. India's has a glorious history in the Olympics compared to South Africa. Maybe, South Africa established its association and played the game a long time ago. It has recently come to the fore in international hockey Anyway, if I or anyone else has not provided correct information or wrong information and someone here has pointed it out, the matter is settled. Is it then expected that the person who committed an error or made a wild remark should ask for forgiveness? As for Roland's point, it is way off the mark. The remark was made in the context of the piece which said a small group of Toronto women showed poor self-esteem. Yes, it was my hasty reading and, hence, the words were wrongly placed.. I didn't DISTORT the facts. I didn't FAULT you for not introducing your wife to me but I said that if you had done maybe I would have some idea if she has high self-esteem or low self-esteem. So, there's no question of mixing "women" and "gay". BTW, I have had one Goan who introduced me to his "gay" partner. As for Fred, he seems obviously peeved my point out the "error" in the heading to his opinion piece. The keyboard part, as Fred obviously observed, is a take-off on JC's "this iPad does strange auto-corrections." How come Fred, you didn't reply to my post asking if it was really "tail" or "tale'? Case closed? Eugene
