As long as we keep reading writing, we are eternally embiggened. Unfortunately, I am an old fart retired and on minimal income, sadly unable to contribute to the cause. I am, however, a person who loves reading and writing letters, emboldened by the regular e-mails you send. I continue to "educate" my dear grandchildren that there is still an art to taking pen to paper. They find this crazy-making. We currently remain at the elementary stage of postcards, but I have high hopes. Their spirit embiggens me as well!
Another one who can't afford to upgrade, but loves your work.
I find the whole paragraphs in bold type useful, because my eyes don't work as well as they used to. So thank you for at least giving it a trial, even if the rest of the world votes me down!
The bigger type works very well for reading on a phone. For some reason the quotes came through coloured grey on that device, which would have made reading smaller type very difficult!
I am rather pleased with your proper use of the word “embiggen.” Well done.
A very satisfying word to deploy.
As the quotes are in a bold font, I would have said 'emboldened'.
For short quotes I like the bold text. For longer quotes I preferred the in-line paragraph text.
A wonderful lot of possibilities from a single root, and such great examples. Thank you.
Embiggened? My vocabulary is being stretched muchly

Love the phrase "the throne of presumption" The idea is very popular these days.
Zora Neale Hurston is my favorite. Love that photo too.

Discovering Letters of Note one random peak-pandemic evening has been a gift that keeps on giving. Thanks, Shaun :)
Looking forward to Letters Live in Delhi soon. *nudge *nudge
I wish EB White had written more children's books.
Thanks for paying attention! Very much appreciated.
As for postscripts, I've focussed on them a couple of times in the past and will no doubt return at some point. See here:

Ditto too poor to subscribe but I have bought at least four of your 'Letters of Note' books for myself and my likewise appreciative friends.
Ps Whole paragraphs in bold type are surely less than elegant.
