Dunno what counts as well-versed, but ask away and I'll see what I can do if you like. I helped a buddy of mine work out his fashion sense a while back. [He gives a little shrug. (If this is a gender thing and she only wants to talk to women, he's totally oblivious.)]

I am sure you can't be as bad as I was at letters - but if you insist. We shall both improve with practice.
