The word "mutations" give me sleepness nights. It is the way the Dutch translate "mutaties" (movements/ changes) into English. In English 'mutations' is only used in biology, etc.
Dear Jarry (and Chris), my apologies!
Instead of clicking on the Select/Add Gloss button, I must have clicked on the 'Decline' button (doing two things at once...). My original comment and thank you was 'Dear Jarry (and Chris), thank you for your suggestion, as well as for the 'mutations' issue. Kind regards, Ron.' So, sincere apologies! (I just received the email with your above comment, made me wondering what had happened. And this all from a moment of non-attention, clicking the wrong button .... :-( - I would have responded the same if someone would have declined one of my helpfully intended suggestons. ) 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Dear Roy,
Sorry I reacted so tersely but I just couldn't understand your 'grading'. I fully appreciate your comments and in turn apologise for 'flying off the handle'. It will be a pleasure to help you whenever I can.
All the best,
Jarry
To decline an answer without comment is the nearest thing to a slap in the face. Without any explanation from you can count me out for any future help/answers.
