I am guessing this was in reply to Anna. I mis-post like this sometimes also, it happens a lot with Medium android app, the newer version of it is hopeless, fooling us into making responses in the wrong place, even to ourselves, rather than to the good folk we might intend it for, but who might never see them because of the error. In a way it is systemically intentional by the platform, discouraging those who might only have a cheap phone and no PC to write. It would cost a little to fix, for which probably no-one can see any financial returns, so not done, thus adding to the systemic enforcement of less privelige for those already less priveliged. I would copy and paste your response to Anna on your behalf, but it would be presumptious of me to do so, I think, so I should leave for you.

On languages, I know what you mean though I don't know much French, I feel the same about Spanish, even though I am not fluent in it either, there are some experiences that are normal in Spanish, but fenced off in English. I especially love Cumbia, Salsa, and Merengue music for opening our minds to this. Some of it dates back more than 100 years, for the lyrics always in Spanish, being unashamedly raunchy, translated to English they often sound "Filthy", but in Spanish it is all just good, healthy upbeat fun.

I think it is only the English speaking world that has developed this thing called political correctness, which actually just ties us all up in knots when it comes to good old-fashioned romance, imho.

Great pic of the owl btw, I love it, like all the pics you include, always fantastic.

A meme of it comes to mind: "I just shit on your finger but you'll never know!"
