I wish to concur in everything you said except in the misnomination of verbage relating to the excerpt, "4 simple syllables." I believe for the sake of better English you were trying to convey the thought more accurately was "words" not "syllables." Please don't be angry "but there comes a time when things are best left to the professionals" - Maggie Smith, Dowager Countess, Downton Abbey.

I will add Dame Maggie Smith has been a childhood favorite of mine. That early 20th century sass and witty repartee is an accreddit to her acting skill.

Mrs. Hughes was funny too, I would like to see someone put together a video of her funny, shady, moments with Mr. Carson, Mrs. Patmore, Barrow, and Miss O'Brien.
