And you thought SW grammar nazis were bad ?

Thomas de Mahy, marquis de Favras (March 26, 1744 – February 19, 1790) was a French aristocrat and supporter of the House of Bourbon during the French Revolution.

He was executed and is known for his last words, "I see that you have made three spelling mistakes", upon the reading of his death sentence warrant.

@luctoretemergo To tell you the truth I had a friend who was very proud of her family tree which included the French house of Bourbon. That was actually her surname. I pretty much told her that I liked her but didn't give a rat's ass about any royal ascestors. So yes, there was such a house. 🙂
Coincidentally that friend of mine was also an alcoholic.

@Wraithorn Well - I'm not that bad yet (alcoholic) but if I'm stuck working from home much longer....this 4:00 happy hour is becoming a habit!

@luctoretemergo I understand. This worldwide lockdown situation is driving a lot of people nuts.
