I'll have to make a kneefall for forgiveness. That was the way relatively few people behaved when shouting a message in passing was the only possibility. What the likes of Mobile phones and apps such as posteriorbook, twitface, etc. have done, is facilitated extension of this behaviour almost without limit... Twill be a cold day in hell before I have such a device, however much the youngsters tell me it is essential. Email, that's occasionally handy, when I don't have quill pen, ink, parchment and a means of delivery available:Dad-1 wrote:...That sounded like a reference to 'Work'.

Right worshipful and good Sir,
I commend me to thee heartywise and most humbly, whereas the model thou sent hath not the powere enough to make it runne. I send withal my servant Crakes to thy service with that model, that thou mayest make test of the case, whether it runn or nay. And if it be nay, that thou might restore to me one able to worke. Crakes hath some small coin for thy troble in this matter, but nott so much that he should obtain ale for drunken revelry, etc, etc...
