Tsuwm, clearly you are not addressing me with this statement, but I shall try to take it to heart nonetheless.
But I will add that all the in-depth dissertations on Latin
declinations (and about German) approximately decimate my interest in reading the thread. It's all Greek
to me!

Believe me I was not trying to sneak one in for the Lord.

Thanks, Harry. I don't believe in Hell, but for spammers I find myself wishing there were one, and it's nice to know that my favourable interpretation of your post was correct. The "hearts and lives" phrase was interesting, and I wonder how many sentences could be constructed with similar ambiguity. I shall go and ask my cat (obscure Hitch-Hikers' Guide reference)

I have never heard equivoque but have heard and used equivocate-- Which of course just refers to some one who is using equivacal language--.

(typically me-- being true irish, when you ask me what seems to be a Yes or No question--my answer is often "well, Yes and No" )
