I seem to be making lots of spelling mistakes in my posts!

Errata
-------

In previous post,

Read 'once' as 'ones' and the sentence,

"One should also differentiate between spurts of creativity and with
that flow of creativity and ability to put ideas into language with
some of the great authors possessed to a great extent."

as

"One should also differentiate between spurts of creativity, with that
flow of creativity and ability to put ideas into language, which some
of the great authors possessed to a great extent."

Thanks
