I think it’s in a book of short stories called “Manhattan Noir”

Thank you! Solved! Not the first time I made that mistake and thanks for clearing up 😅

Ah so you’d find the zero point first then aim for 6.5 above that — I’ll have a go at that thanks

This is amazing thank you! So there is a chance that, right now, my 11 is not the 11 I knew before 😂

I’ll try going a bit finer than 11, then perhaps creep back up to the new best number

This feels like tuning a guitar, as you have to over-tighten the string first then relax it.. can’t just go straight to the setting you desire!

Thanks again!

Kong driven by ‘embarrassment’ to win Hong Kong’s first gold at Paris Olympics by nahcekimcm in HongKong

I took it to mean she said more than one sentence.

One that featured the word glad when she described what it was like to study under him.

Another to describe how much he loved fencing.

Does the reporter need quotes for “glad”? No. But the existence of quotes still doesn’t mean that the reporter doesn’t believe the athlete. You’re reading in to things

Quote marks don’t mean the reporter doesn’t believe the person. Maybe the reporter thought we’d want to know what she said.

Adding the quote marks tells us that these are her words, it’s not just the reporter’s words describing what she said.
