Damn it too many typos. Voyage, and neurophenomenologically (with the 'ly'
on ) - but can you blame me for getting (forgetting) the last one wrong,
guess I need to preview my posts first and malheuresement there go my two
posts for the day and malheuresement, conventional punctuation does not
allow for my writing style cos what I need is nesting brackets for
subordinate and subordinate to subordinate clauses and what might lie within
them, commas simply won't do the job efficiently. Hope the context of my
previos if not this post is clear notwithstanding.
Heaven knows what else I have mis spelt.
