Just a good natured suggestion re your first paragraph; When your intention is to write the plural of “ally” use “allies” and lose the apostrophe. When you stick in an apostrophe intending go make the singular into a plural, the apostrophe actually makes it SINGULAR POSSESSIVE, which derails your whole sentence. Oh, we still know what you MEAN, but it’s not as good as you COULD make it. A person of your caliber needs to demand excellence of himself. ;o)

Other than that, you done good.

+ 1.

Apostrophe abuse drives me up the wall. Like fingernails on a chalk board.
