Dear Natalie,
I have often fallen into the sin of pride concerning my command of my native
language. I see now the full extent of my error. Could you express this
in more fulsome terms which I could understand? I am resisting the urge to
reach for a dictionary because I have a horrible feeling it wouln't be up to
the task!
To appreciate one has to understand. Overlapping polysyllables don't help.
I feel like I might as well have blundered into the concept marketing
department of a management consultancy. To me, soteriology sounds
like something very nasty from the Path. Lab (which in the context it may
well be). And yet it looks as though there is something interesting in
there.
Please share it with us.
Yours Sincerely,
John A.W. Lock
