Corrections

The need for a fact-checker on this site has never been more apparent than now. My readers may remember a post from a little more than a week ago that was a retrospective of sorts.

The very woman who once referred to me as Doorchfall dropped me a line to let me know that it was in fact the Dutch word Doortrapt that means a person who has a penchant for deceit. Thank you Lia.

Doorchfall is actually the German word for diarrhea. The similarity in the spelling of the two words is a lame excuse, as is the lack of a spell check program that filters for other languages. My apologies for the error. Don't ask me why I know the word for a bowel movement, but very little other German.
