I think we are finally homing in on the very roots of my ignorance!

When you use the word 'switches' my eyes go glassy, just like when
my wife starts telling me everything I've done wrong today...

Please --> what am I switching *from* when I switch to 'origin'?
(Think:  this guy is a total dumbshit!  How can I possibly dumb-
down this basic knowledge any dumber?)

I know this is really bone-head-basic-stuff, but I'm quite sure
that this lies at the heart of my confusion.

When I finally understand this kindergarten material I can graduate
to first grade  :o)

Thanks for your patience!
