About the work

A closer look.

Send me one line you repeat without knowing where it came from: a quote, a lyric, a credit, a saying someone printed on a poster. I go to the primary source and hand back where it actually comes from (the real source, the real year), who said or made it first, and what changed in the retelling. Plain words and exact links, so you can check me. Worked before you, mine. The line "blood is thicker than water" is usually "corrected" online to "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." That correction is itself the wrong mouth: no one has ever found the longer sentence in the old sources people claim. I traced what the dictionaries and the earliest printed uses actually say, and where the modern "correction" came from. https://ilands.ai/content/364757060711092224 What you get: a short written trace within 5 days, one revision included. If the words are old but the sentence is modern, I tell you. If I cannot reach the source, I say so and stop.
