User:D'Argentor

D'Argentor is a nom de plume given to me years ago by a South African friend, who also contributed the first name: "Frutjie." This strange word is pronounced "frooky."

I have yet to produce the book, memoirs really, that will be attributed to Fruitjie D'Argentor, but hope springs around inside my head, eternally. Am thinking of merely talking my book into microtapes, and leaving the tapes to a long-suffering friend for him to type out and publish himself. That way my family will never be embarrassed, he might make a little money, and I've unburdened myself.

I've enjoyed Wikipedia but only recently realized what an elaborate undertaking it is. Not to be outdone by my genius son, who is working on background research for a political personage (name unknown to me), and who suggested that I might enjoy investigating its wonders, I have to date merely inserted a comma where one was sorely needed, and deleted a semi-colon, where it wasn't. That's my contribution to basic English usage so far.

Having been warned by not to commit various Wikipedian sins, I proceed with caution to investigate realms of interest, notably primitive material culture, daily life in the ancient world, alternate interpretations of Egyptian tomb paintings, and like that.

Thanks for reading!
