I made a comment to a friend over on Discord earlier today, while we were discussion various "social media platforms" that I generally referred to a specific one with an extra "e" following the a in its name. They laughed and said they generally use an "r" in the same place.

Do any of my author friends here use the HM Books Gallery for WordPress? I am having a devil of a time getting it to dose things that to me should be simple. But my brain doesn't function the way that some other people's do, and what is simple to others is complicated for me.

FINALLY - back in he murder book after far too long. The first half of this year was spent Auschwitz-Birkenau, which was a very dark place for my mind to be, but needful. I have a trilogy from that that is now marinating for final polishing before I try to shoot to a publisher. But, done, mostly.

![Shows triangle marking system for prisoners in German concentration camps distinguished by form and colour of the marks. The table is divided into rows for basic prisoner colours (Grundfarben für Häftlinge), badges for reoffenders (Abzeichen für Rückfällige), prisoners in the punishment platoon (Häftlinge der Strafkompanie), badges for Jews (Abzeichen für Juden), and special marks (Besondere Abzeichen), as well as columns for various types of accusations: political prisoners (politisch), career criminals (Berufsverbrecher, [lit.: professional criminal]), emigrant(s), Jehovah's Witnesses (Bibelforscher [lit.: Bible researchers]), homosexuals (homosexuell), and antisocial persons (asozial). The special marks include "Jewish miscegenationists" (jüd[ische] Rasseschänder), female miscegenationists (Rasseschänderin), persons presenting a flight risk (fluchtverdächtigt), the prisoner's inmate ID number (Häftlingsnummer), identification of Polish and Czech prisoners (Pole, Tscheche) by a "P" or "T" in the triangle, Wehrmacht (German army) personnel (Wehrmacht Angehöriger) and celebrities (Häftling Ia). An example sleeve of a prisoner's dress is shown in the lower right section (Beispiel).
