- I can see you missed the point. Whether honor is spelled with a 'u'
- or not does not seem to fall into the category of "what I want". The
- person would be hired to worry about things you *don't* care about, but
- that other people think you should. They could *care* for you. It would
- be like Mother Theresa hiring someone to hate people for her, because it is
- expected that she hate someone, but she just can't bring herself to do it.
-
- I was *so* grateful that my wife, et al. worried about the etiquette,
- it let me off the hook. Me?...I worried about the vows...still do too.
