Rambi, if I got it wrong I want to know it.So thanks. As you know I am the last person in the world to say anything about English. I have no English skills at all. No primary education.

I do not even know why I am entering this terraine-lol. But will quickly exit this arena and defer to anyone.

My understanding:

Prclude means to exclude more than prevent, I think.

With myriad. People usually say there are A mryiad of stars, instead of there are myriad stars. There are a myriad of fish instead of myriad fish.

With peruse, most people use it to mean a QUICK glance instead it means a thorough read:

pe·ruse /p?'ruz/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [puh-rooz] Show IPA Pronunciation

–verb (used with object), -rused, -rus·ing. 1. to read through with thoroughness or care: to peruse a report.
2. to read.
3. to survey or examine in detail.
