You’re welcome, I have always wondered at the fact that the founders apparently missed the same class as the preamble to the constitution contains the words, “a more perfect union”. My teachers were always very clear in saying that it is an error, perfect is perfect they said, it is a superlative, meaning that it allows no room for improvement, so “more perfect” is actually a contradiction in terms.
