Is telepathy involved there? How can you change something before it exists? After the autograph, but before the archetype . Textual Criticism.png Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that a phenomenon like this, similar to that of 'oral memory' and 'layered traditions', would be impossible t...

Yesterday I used the word cautious somewhere, where I'm usually use careful - I use the latter for almost everything LOL I think I haven't used the word cautious in years, perhaps decades. And the only possible reason for me to use it is that I saw it somewhere, heard it, read it - got inspired by ...
