Thanks for going through that, it all makes sense, and as ever I missed a few mistakes that are obvious in hindsight. Mostly mis-gendering nouns it seems.

As far as I can tell, внушать/внушить are proper verbs. Or at least according to this, anyway:-
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/внушать

I'm pretty satisfied with the resulting text, always grateful for someone checking my efforts, perhaps some day I'll know enough to be able to contribute here. That would an acheivement!
