Thank you very much.

I know the context, because I answered a previous question about this. It was from a radio interview.

Yes, that's my typo. I'm so sorry. And thank you very much for your additional explanation.

This one was much more interesting that the family ones.

Yes, this one gives me how a stereo type of thinking leads to a biased opinion. My mother never thought she was exploited, and never will do. The Greatness melts all the fragments of ideas.
