Hi Michael
I'm going to stop calling you "Landlubber" and sart calling you "Mr. Eagle-Eye". :lol: ;)
If I tell you that "sart" is a typo, can you figure out what it should be?

Hi Amy,
And there was me thinking it was a near approximation of me trying to speak with an American accent for 'sort of' !

Hi Alan
My first reaction was in fact "sort of"! But then word "by" sort of killed that idea. :lol:

Michael, that's quite an impressive combination of qualities to have!
Not only eagle eyes, but also a vivid tongue. :D
I enjoy your English.
