here's a handy mnemonic for remembering how this type of switch works:
O = it's Off
I = It's on
O = it's Off

I keep thinking about the fact that I became a proofreader because I love rules. I am not a maverick. Nor am I entirely sure the structure ‘to be a maverick at’ exists. (goes off to check, regretting not having done so before posting)

On the 'Merrily' pro-shot: I'd probably be delighted with it if I'd also seen the Broadway show. But as I hadn't, I'd prefer more wide shots, especially of the ensemble pieces. That said, the close-ups of the main characters gave me depth I hadn't got from seeing stage performances. So I loved it.
