Gloria, is "lack of ill-at-ease" correct and if so, what does it mean? I would think that there cannot be lack of ill-at-ease, but then I may be mistaken.
From the standards you uphold, you have not yet seen a perfect person. When you see defects or lack of ill-at-ease, you contribute to them. You may not acknowledge where you were before you rose to where you are now, or believe you are now.
Thank you, dear Luus. There
Thank you, dear Luus. There is something here that needs looking at.
Please let me come back to this as soon as soon as I finish what I am in the middle of writing now. Thanks.

Hi Luus~ While waiting for Gloria, I'll throw my two cents in. Seems to me that the problem involves a double negative creating a positive when a negative is called for to make sense.
A lack of ill-at-ease could be restated as a lack of discomfort, and altho people wouldn't ordinarily use these expressions, they mean we would see someone as at ease or comfortable.
This doesn't fit with the idea of "defects". The best I can come up with as a fix would be "lack of ease". That would not be an ordinary way of speaking but it stays close to the original, which is definitely not an ordinary way of speaking. It is related to the word "disease" which can be understood as dis-ease.
Gloria may well have a better solution.

It could indeed be the way Charles suggests, Luus. Anything I've tried seems to get complicated. I go for Charles' suggestion. Will you fix it, dear Luus, if you please.
Done!
Done!
