@judeswae Thanks. :)

Wife has COVID and I'm starting to feel sick too. 😿

@fndriven yeah we could use a big ol' tidy up!

English spelling is awful especially for someone with dyslexia:
- **Each** is a word 2️⃣
- **Teach** is also fine...
- **Peach** is correct 🍑
- but **Speach** isn't a word... 🙊
- It is spelt **Speech** 🗣️
- And **Leech** 🐛
- Even better, **Breech** and **Breach** are both words and homophones so good luck with that... 🤷

I wonder if #dyslexia is less of an issue with languages that actually have consistency and phonetic spellings....
