   Hello George Pope!   
      
   ** On Thursday 27.01.22 - 09:44, you wrote to me:   
      
    >> That's something I should try with the phone number when I   
    >> create invoices in Excel.   xxx.xxx.xxxx   
      
    GP> If you think of it when creating it, you can define a column as phone

    GP> (or "(xxx)" for  the first 3)   
      
   Nah.  My on-the-fly invoices don't need a whole column for a     
   phone number.  I've gotten used to just prefixing the number     
   with a " ' " symbol and the number: '###-###-####, and then the     
   minus sign doesn't trigger a math function.

    GP> Was it to "Master August Abolines, Esq."?   
      
   Hmmm..  I think that Master was part of the presentation, yes!   
      
      
     GP> ...I always thought esquire was for educated(university   
     GP> grad or  Masters) folk alone.   
      
   At the time, I did not know this. I think the dictionary that I     
   used at the time primarily defined Esq as "a title of respect".     
   So, seeing my name appended with Esq was fine by me!

    GP> I can teach anyone to say that right -- just say   
    GP> cats...soup & drop the ca & op   
      
   yes..  it becomes more like "tsoo".  But shit zoo is more fun     
   and get away with saying shit!  LOL
