Work the slope with no amendment

Is this one of those examples of two people being separated by a common
language?

It must be. I use English, but I'm not sure what patois you use.

In the enlightened English of the Americas
amendment is a

There's is your problem.

noun
? a minor change in a document.
? a change or addition to a legal or statutory document :
an amendment to existing bail laws.
? ( Amendment) an article added to the U.S. Constitution :
the First Amendment.
? something that is added to soil in order to improve its
texture or fertility.

Presuming that you weren't referring to the first three choices,
Shirley you can't really be serious that Patrick not use compost,
manure or some other amendment to improve his soils fertility.

Well Chuck, if you'd looked in an English dictionary, or spoke English, you
wouldn't need to ask. The OP who does use English, hasn't come back to
query my meaning so it must be obvious to those of us who use English.

Shirley, you've been living upside down for too long. Since when
has a non-response been an affirmation?

Even for a provincial, you are a bit tetchy.

In any event, I took the trouble to look up amendment in a proper
British dictionary, that comes from some little back water
university called Cambridge:

No need to thank me. A good deed is its' own reward ;o)
