I did not know that one could add a quote structure oneself. Until now I thought it was a facility for quoting an earlier post in the same thread.

I notice that you habitually type

...

end quote

instead of using the ‘quote’ markup provided by the forum software. Do you have a particular aversion to quoted text being highlighted in a box? I find it helpful, but perhaps you don’t.

It is a rather nice word, I imagine someone mixing sage and onion stuffing mix and then conglobating it.

I like learning of nice sounding words and their meanings,

I remember one that I learned about and I made a first draft of a chapter of my second novel containing it so that I would not forget about it.
