“You could easily tell us the truth, or even invent your own story line, so your refusal to do so suggests truth would not strengthen your arguments.”

You have said - just to cite an example - about the word “chivvied”: “Who uses words like that? NOT AMERICANS, EVER.” (Emphasis added)

And yet everyone on this board has seen the great American hero figure John Wayne use the word on the big screen. And tens of millions of Americans have witnessed its use by the iconic American.

You have been given repeated opportunities to extricate yourself gracefully, but you continue to spread an ill-advised story that is the opposite of the truth. Opposite of the truth.

And yet I've never heard that word used in normal conversation, including here, and neither have you, or you'd cite the instances.
So all you've demonstrated is you watched some old movies.

Now you've made some kind of argument, however improbable, on two of the three unusual words, chivvied & tally book.
But no response whatever on "homestall", suggesting that is the real jeffersondem, peaking out from behind your FR cloak of invisibility.

That's why rockrr's point above is the correct one.
