Hello insect,
Forgive if tit's been said, but I think in L2 drunk shouyld be drank -
making 2 drannk's in the first S - for better or worser. Also 'an red faded'
doesn't read right to me. While on the subject I've noted a number of folk
spelling 'lose' as in to lose an item' with 'loose'. Is there a convention I
don't know about or is it just a common typo?
Intriguing tale - I was fascinated by the alphabet ordering.
Cheers,
Frank
