Looks like you think about "Basic English" which is a bit more formalized than Wikipedia's "Simple English" - see https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_English (and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_English )

as soon as interest or taxes are involved, you'll end up with fractions of cents. Or if you want to split an uneven amount between people.

Iurisprudentia est scientia omnium rerum, humanorum atque divinarum

jurisprudence is the science of everything, both human and divine

(not addressing the original problem "false copyright notices", but) what about streaming to Twitch? Admittedly, they are mainly doing game streaming, so probably unknown to your intended audience, but they'd probably simply click on a link in your announcement, anyway.

I didn't find out whether they consider religious content as controversial or otherwise unwanted on their platform, but from the overall view, it looks fine.

not patented, but trademarked (the "T" in USPTO), so it's just the name "Listserv", see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LISTSERV#Trademark

Did you try sending them voice messages instead, possibly via some TTS service?

While I'm not a fan of "visual programming languages", I think Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/) and ScratchJr (http://scratchjr.org/) are good. ScratchJr is made for the younger ones, "no reading required" (but knowing the digits/numbers is helpful)
I think GP asked more about ascending chronological order (i.e. "oldest first"). Of course, that's only conjecture, based on what I thought when reading the question.

OTOH, your info about "best" vs. "everything" is of interest, too.

I like the color names, but am a bit disappointed there are multiple names for the same color, e.g. #000000 is 'divorced black' in one palette, and 'contributable black' in another.
