Not actually an airport, but more the sense of waiting and greeting. A sunny, springtime morning, a little before 8 a.m. She {maybe an elderly he, the two overlap} is to make a presentation before a public-school crowd. We're running late, which becomes a problem because I have to get a second Public Friend and am caught in transporting the two. Am supposed to get the second at 10, but the first is still at the lectern. I greeted the first using "thee," then realized she had no idea what was happening, so I added: "I guess it's been a while since thee's been addressed in Plain Speech."   Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
