You're my first student today. I'm glad you got "pay purview" out of the way early. It was my first thought as well.

Purview
Purview is what my cat sees. If you say that would be purrview...my cat doesn’t really put his heart into it so he never really purrs or meows, it’s just a slightly squinted indifferent gaze, a truncated pur, a wheezy me, me, and a quiet ow as he walks away.
He does have one good quality.....he ain’t twins.

I went to the thread and saw I was late to the party with the “pay purview”... sorry.
