SMITH and JONES

While I find myself in the fortunate position where I can understand the conversation, I did notice (and I'm confident there are others) one mis-spell. Its a botched job, not bodged.

I appreciate your input.

I did not write "bodged" or "bodged job" (with a second d). What I actually wrote was:

"To scupper the tommyrot and sort this shambolic niggle, albeit as a bodge job amongst gents..."

This was written as I intended. "Bodge job" is likely to have evolved/devolved from either "botch job" or "botched job," at least in some locales, but this phrase has evidently become part of the language. For example, check this Wikipedia entry.

If you find any real typos or misspellings, I'd definitely like to know. Please bring it on.

Thanks,

Nack
