[Opinions] Re: Katherine and Patrick
Thank you. Why did you say I couldn't get more wholesome? I want to hear the story in detail about what the intention was.

Quick English lesson: when we say 'You can't get any worse than that' or 'You can't get more wholesome' etc, the 'You' actually means any person at all; old-fashioned grammar books would have preferred 'One can't ...' but that's no longer used in everyday situations. So we could paraphrase 'You can't get more wholesome' as 'It's impossible to sound more wholesome than those names'.I hope that helps. English can be tricky sometimes!

Yeah, I basically meant that Patrick and Katherine are as wholesome as names can get.
