    Lol, have my upvote for a great backstory!

    Also, I think the word you want is “apprised”, which means “to inform”, while “appraised” means “to evaluate”.

    Lots of homonyms in English, another pair is “weary/wary”. Weary means fatigued, wary means cautious.

      Fixed. Sorry, English is my first language but my autocorrect is aggressive.

      Also “appraised” and “apprised” are not homonyms, unless you pronounce them wrong.
