Thanked: 3164In my last post I got the wrong fellow: I confused Substance with 32t. Sorry, to clear things up when I say that Substance is the wrong fellow I do not mean that he is wrong in his thinking, but that he was not the chap I was replying to. So 32t would have been the right fellow, not because he is right in his thinking, though, if so he would be the wrong fellow and substance would be the right fellow, but not because I confused them. Sorry.
Incidentally, 'bespoke' was originally 'bespeak' meaning to order or commission, first used in that form in 1583, the verb bespoken first being used in 1607. This is still used in England - in the 1970s there were no end of bespoke tailor shops, but 'customize' is much younger - 1923 - and was mainly used in the US, but it has now travelled the Pond.
OTT (me?!) my eyes were getting a bit wonky - have been for a while, so I went to the laser-surgeon and asked for my lenses to be altered so I could see better close-up. Lordy, what do you know - now I am customeyed myself!
I have to go now because I just heard my wife Bea call from the kitchen. Once Beaspoke and I ignored her to my cost...
Regards,
