he asked me to spell it for him.
listen - it's the division of labour. i'm not being an asshole, here - i'm listening to what he's saying and processing it carefully. i'm asking him questions. i'm seeking his advice.
but, he knows what he was taught - he's not an oracle. and, he was taught to know a limited amount of things.
i'm just being the dour realist i always am. sorry.
