Nota bene

In yesterday's message I accidentally wrote "bene, melior, optimus"
when I should have written "bonus, melior, optimus". I then
compounded things by inventing "benior" based on "bene" as something
not to use!! I ought to have invented "bonior" in that context.

The adverbial equivalents of bonus/melior/optimus are
bene/melius/optime.

Apologies for the confusion, which no one seems to have noticed so far
(or else you all have the seasonal spirit of goodwill).

Contritely doing 100 lines
