In your fine explanation you used* the sentence below.

"I used* to be able to do that"

In the first used*, the the word used has the meaning,
"employed in accomplishing something"
In your example sentence it seems to me a bit odd, although it is
very common to hear or read it used that way.
Can you delineate, elucidate, and expound on that use of the word.

Thanks, Mikek

PS.
Any chance Krause self immolated after the election?
Still MIA.




No, he showed up briefly to try to get out of a simple bet.
