[This question on “dust” is not politically correct!]
Overnight has the name “Rainy—” changed into your real name?
I’m sorry. I’m not following you on the ‘dust’ question. Is it one of the new verification questions? Did I make a dialect faux pas?
About ‘Raindream’ being replaced, you’re right. I changed it a few days ago without realizing what I was changing. When I saw it at the top of each post, I changed it back. ‘Raindream’ is a nickname I used, but you don’t need to use it here.
I often speak in a cryptic way…sorry!
Here is the explanation: the verification question was of the true/false type concerning a quotation in old English, I think from the Bible.
Oh! That one. It’s one of my attempts to use literature in the questions while keeping the answer easy. The quote is from a HW Longfellow poem, linked in this post.
