Somewhat off-topic:

Richard Bridge,

In two of your posts to this thread you used the word "twee".

The first time you used it, I wondered if you were referring to the "Twi" language and culture of the Akan peoples of Ghana, West Africa.

But the second time, I figured that was probably not the case. So I decided to look up the meaning of the word "twee". I'm posting that definition here in case there are other "UnitedStaters" and folks from other countries reading this thread who also don't know this word:

twee
One entry found.

Oh, what you were saying is that the song Kumbaya has become corny {and maybe sappy is another adjective that fits that definition of "twee"}.

Okay. I get it.

Thanks, Richard, for providing an opportunity to learn that British colloquial term!
