Thanks, Daniel, for being open-minded about assistance. FYI, what I noticed were a couple of word endings that seemed incomplete and (possibly) a comma placed where it didn't need to be. I enjoy your input on LFAA, look forward to it in fact. Upon second glance, you probably don't need me. It's a remnant of my former life that items seeking my proofreading skills just seem to jump out at me. No need to run stuff by me ...
Daniel, a very interesting post. I had never heard of this new word-making until now.
But ... as an eagle-eyed former secretary, I found possibly four proofreading issues in your first three paragraphs. Do you have a second set of eyes on board? (Definitely not critiquing your content, just its presentation. Probably cannot NOT notice such things because I was trained to do just that. Sorry...)
Julia, no, I don’t have a second set of eyes, and these old burned out eyes of mine aren’t so good. I’m also not a language/English scholar. My skills were in law enforcement and firefighting. Maybe what we need to do is collaborate a bit, and my next writing I’ll send to you ahead of time for you to assist me with the proofreading. I’ve never had one of those. And, so you know, I don’t charge anyone to join my Substack subscription, so if you do any proofing, it will have to be strictly voluntary.
I do appreciate your letting me know I screwed the pooch. I’m always open to hood, or bad. Either way. Let’s me know folks are reading.

I’ll do my best to be more careful! Thanks again for the heads up, and help. Lord knows, I need all I can get!
