More upgrades for my CR-10

Feck the "been". Is 10 the best or the worst score?

O’ brother... 1 is best and 10 is lousy...

For the record, I almost always use the opposite scale with 10 as best

Maybe it is a difference found in Ireland.

The word "being" is the proper word choice for your scale, at least here. Usually I can decipher your words but this time you had me.

but this time you had me.

Only this one time....
I didn’t want to use Being, because I reckon that would confuse the hell out of you, “been” is more an American word...

Definitely not the first time!
The breaking of the Enigma code was simpler than deciphering some of your posts.

But now I have the The Hat Decoder Ring which helps a lot.

Ah, the Enigma code - fascinating story with many little strands to it. One not widely known but rumoured is that a lazy German radio operator was asked to resend a long message and he cut corners using abbreviations and common words which the code breakers then were able to identify words from.
