( Note: the previous message posted here…which was a capital “Q” and two lower-case “q”s, was never meant to be an actual message. My smartphone keyboard sometimes comes unlocked accidentally when I’m carrying it. It was in no way a comment about the essay and I’m not sure what it means that it received three “claps”.)
