Hi Mrrzy, I'm very happy to hear that you are working your way through this.

Prosopagnosia - what a whacky coincidence! Last night I watched a re-run of a really good TV programme in Oz called Anh's Brush with Fame

Anh interviews a well known person and at the same time he paints the person's portrait. Brilliant! Amazing! Interesting, enlightening, special.

Last night's show featured a brilliant academic and media presenter called
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki who has more degrees than you can poke a stick at, including a medical degree and he worked for a time as a children's doctor.

He explained that he has prosopagnosia so he was also talking about whether he would recognise his own face in the finished portrait.

I probably wouldn't use the term "slough" because there are too many possible ways it could be pronounced.

"ough" - pronounced "oh" like in "although"
"ough" - pronounced "ow" like in "plough" or "plow"
"ough" - pronounced "off" like in "cough"

At least the "sl" is straightforward and unambiguous. LOL

It reminds me of the funny/joke spelling of "fish" i.e. ghoti.

"gh" pronounced "ff" as in "cough"
"o" pronounced "i" as in "women"
"ti" pronounced "sh" as in "nation

Sorry, just trying to make you laugh at the funny way my brain works.
