Yes, you're right of course. Still - it would have been better/best to

Yeah, me too. Utterly disdained the use of A-correlatives too. I could be such a snot. The more difficult it was, the more worthwhile. I don't know when that changed, but I guess I must have mellowed somewhere along the line.

Yikes! You win!

Since the introduction of the CALL from dictionary items I've turned my
back on all of that. It ain't worth the agro.

I try my best to avoid the need for BASIC calls, AND for complex correlatives. Decent database design really helps there, but of course we don't always get a say in that.
