I used to live in South Africa, so I know how pronounce a name like Charlize Theron (the actress). But Charlize herself has had to change how she pronounces it in Hollywood: she says "the-ron" in interviews, when it's more like "Tron" in her home country (as she says here).

Just to confuse matters, the actress Alexandra D’Addario uses the “D’ah” pronunciation as @Clarky said above. 

If you’re as short-sighted as I am (< -8 diopter in both eyes), it doesn’t take much. My retinas are like the skins on a drum kit tuned up by The Rock. It’s only a matter of time, you don’t have to take a knock.

I’ve got the bubble of hexafluoroethane, and have to do some “posturing” including hours on my face, but not as much of that due to the locations of the tears in my retina. I had them along the edges, while a detachment in the centre is harder to flatten and would explain having to spend weeks face down.

Two different eyedrops 4x a day, but I didn't get such a dire warning about showering, just to be careful (soap etc.) and use the antibiotic drops afterwards.

Sweet - possibly my favourite of their songs: when I tackle it, this will help a lot! Have you considered posting this to Reddit too e.g. /r/bass and/or /r/Cardiacs?

I’m actually pondering this topic at the moment. It’s a rosewood fretboard and I want to insert something thin in a slightly lighter colour, then dark wood filler around that. I’m looking for suitable material on the cheap I.e. not looking to buy wood just for that. I’ll even consider plastic. Then I’ll try a cyanoacrylate coating. 

I’m not on social media and don’t naturally think of documenting what I do. I’ll have a think about it, but might not if it’s embarrassing. I don’t doubt there are a hundred BC-ers quite capable of telling me exactly what I did wrong.
