Very few words today. But I have noticed mistakes in last blog. Where did the word 'infective' come from? It's a combination of infectious - which is the word I meant to use - and effective, which is a way in which one could think about the behaviour of a virus.
And then there's the inappropriate 'it's', rather than its. Which again begs the question about editors, and, also, time. The importance of taking time to write, to think, to revise. Cascading words are rarely interesting. Was it Balzac who once apologized to a friend for having written such a long letter, having not had time to write a short one?
