Cheap shot Chris. You're a young man and we are old farts with flinching fingers. Being sounds like the British been in many areas. I mix up things like that awl the time. Sometimes my letters in German are better than my English because I can't think in them and have to rely on my school work. Even then, treading where you did is not so easy. Look up the synonym for "mind" in Thesaurus.com and see how many of the 141 basic meanings you understand. Then examine the synonyms of the synonyms and understand that Keith probably knows them all somewhere in the experience of his mind. When I understood that I stopped performing German songs except for fun. Art is knowing it all the way down. Besides the synonyms in German are different even for the base translations.
