Very neatly answered.

@Algot not the first I know now 🤣 but I didn't look!

@Cognissart

You are to be commended for your restraint. Being first isn't my expectation at all.

@Algot If there is such a word as INELEGANTLY. If so, that's my guess. If not, I can only see ELEGANTLY.

@Eetschrijver

It would be inelegant of me to deny you success. Inelegantly is a word in my source list.

@staringatclouds

Inelegantly

@Algot

@praxiscode
