    Thanks for pointing that out. I tend to miss things due to dyslexia/ADHD. Either it’s a correctly spelled word, but the wrong one so spellcheck doesn’t catch it or I start writing a sentence and change how I want to word it half way through but forget to go back and edit the first part.

    French was actually spoken by a large number of Brits until English replaced it as the common language in Europe, after ww2. My grandparents were all conversationally fluent in french.
