I'm sorry if this is not the correct word to express what I wanted to
say. I didn't intend to "denigrate" anything (I didn't even know the
word "denigrate" until now...), I just wanted to say that I can't read
or even understand these letters at all.
I wasn't aware the word "stuff" is "denigrating" letters I cannot read,
I was just using it in the neutral sense of "material"... I now
consulted the Merriam-Webster dictionary (
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stuff ) and saw the word has
very different meanings, among them
4 a : literary or artistic production
b : writing, discourse, talk, or ideas of little value : trash
As you know I'm not a native English speaker. You probably recognized
4.b while I meant 4.a. However, I hope I now made clear what I wanted to
say.
Best wishes: Michael
