The only evidence for this notion yet adduced is that he has not
replied to an email message, and I do not find it persuasive: There
are days when I omit to reply to many such.
In passing, the [Latin] plural of 'onus' is 'onera', from which the
[English] adjective 'onerous' is derived in the usual way. [Latin
dropouts are of course free to use 'onuses' instead if they judge it
felicitous.] The form 'oner' has no standing.

The W Key on my keyboard is not working.
The "few days" does not correspond in any universe that I am aware of
to 45 days.
