Was he removing yet acknowledging letters from more common spellings? (I know standardised spelling was not universal in Britain at this time.) Mmmnnn…you have aroused my curiosity GA. And the use of accents? I will have to try and find out.

By the way, we have not had news from Schrodinger in quite a while, is he all right?
