Good lord, if it's any consolation in no way whatever was I suggesting that you had brain damage or the like: I simply listed the things that that 'brain-training' called to mind.

I hope it's a good lesson to you that succinctness is in no way superior to clarity. Just to be fair, your long winded sentences are neither. I would highly recommend reading beyond the range of classics and getting outside your safe space.

You should stop thinking of random things that words call to mind and read the actual meaning of them. If you're just trolling then please leave, I want an honest discussion.
