I’ve been traveling all day, and now I’m finally able to devote the time to make the edits. You’re under no obligation, of course, but if you have time and you’re so inclined, I’d appreciate it if you proof-read it and let me know if it’s more appropriate now.
Although I was happy to make the edits you suggested, I’m not one hundred percent convinced that your generalization is universally true. There may be variations in usage, such as regional variants. No one else made the same observation you did, and my experience is that the Internet reacts quickly and boldly with protestations if someone is inappropriate with their use of language.
Be that as it may, even if your recommendation is only partly true, or only regionally significant, I’ll improve my writing and speaking by paying attention to what you taught me today. So, the change in my writing and speaking is permanent, and I thank you sincerely for educating me.
