I want to be Absolved

>>There are numerous names, though, as no one seems to be able to
define any of these generations with absolution.<<

Absolution? I believe that's something conferred by a Priest upon a Penitent ... as in remission of a sin ...

I know you have meant 'with absolute clarity." It was pretty funny, though, if you meant it as a double entendre ...

As someone on the cusp of both generations, (born in late '53), I did appreciate the article.

Originally, while pounding it out, I used the word without thinking because it seemed to fit. I did a double take and had to review my religious vocabulary, and once I remembered what absolution was, I thought it somewhat (admittedly a stretch) apropos. So I left it there, hanging on the page like a wart, wondering if anybody would notice, call me out, or get the joke.

You did all three. Nice work.
