You snipped my reasonable question:

"... Are "jester" and "fool" not synonyms, then?".

Are they?
Do some research [1] and report back.


[1] You will need to go back before time immemorial.

You never could get into Shakespeare (for instance), could you?

I have read Shakespeare and Dickens, yawn.

Did you leave out King lear?

Your favoured authors preffered to write about golliwogs and goblins, I

I had a Golliwog instead of a Teddy Bear as a child but I preferred sci-fi until Terry Pratchett and David Eddings put pen to parchment.

How's the report on Jester vs Fool coming? I look forward to reading it.

Try the Dramatis Personae of the play referred to above.
