An absurdly high percentage of my customers call to say that their piano DESPERATELY needs to be tuned, is in DESPERATE need of a tuning, DESPERATELY needs my attention, or some other permutation of same. Always DESPERATION is involved. Funny Joseph p.s. yes I know this is OT to the original OT. What can I say? I desperately need the attention.

It's grammatically more accurate to say that it badly needs to be tuned. I thought I could play the grammar cop and suggest that they don't want me to tune it badly... much more likely they want me to tune it well. But then there's the implication of tuning a well temperament, so maybe they want me to tune it equal. Or equally well, which of course is a contradiction... at least in our world.
