Took Tim's question literally and at face value, understanding that his reference

was to the word 'grace' itself as spelled/pronounced in the Swedish Language.

He wasn't asking how you say "grace" in Swedish, but how you say grace in Swedish. Important difference.

Awkward construction of my sentence I hoped would be overlooked. Guess I was wrong.

Obvious answer to your question is 'of course not' but did grow up in the same town.

obviously someone has to point these things out to you, otherwise you'd just go on misconstruing things and making an even bigger idiot of yourself in public. you ought to thank Nordlys for her well-meaning and helpful intervention on your behalf, rather than react with your childish sarcasm.

Of course, my esteemed colleague and almost friend... just as promised to Tim, after my phone

visit with Mom Monday evening. Nice for her to be involved. By the way, do you have children?

At the risk of being pedantic, if they are "from your brother" they are not original are they.

Still....I've no original jokes, puns, or amusing stories to add to your already fascinating thread - my bad 😞
