Attached is the written tribute that Wonky Cai paid to the deseased King of Thailand the other day. Besides the obvious error she made on spelling "Thailand" and her so-so penmanship, I think there were other three disputable usages pending further discussion: 111) I would say "give" or "express", instead of "extend", my condolences because I think most of the time we "extend" something good like welcome, hospitality to others, better no condolences. 222) Most Profound Condolences: Some adjectives require no comparatives or superlatives, and maybe "profound" is one of them, but I am not quite sure about that. (Well, at least she knows using plural condolence"s". By the way, I would say "deepest" or "heartfelt" condolences if I were her.) 333) His Majesty: I think this phrase should be deleted, for in most cases the appellation is for subjects to address their king. Furthermore, since she already indicated the kings name, so His Majesty became superfluous.
