It's ok no offence taken, I think it funny as, too.
It is pretty common when the alternator fails to bring on the warning lights, especially at the Ks yours has (what were they again...lol).
This would be the first thing I would check.

Alternator should be putting out at least 13.6V at fast idle to charge the battery. If it's only putting out 11.88V then you are probably only seeing the batter voltage and the alternator is not doing anything.
Time to see an auto sparky for an exchange unit or rebuild unfortunately.

That is why your warning lights are on.
Very good chance your alternator is faulty.

My alternator packed it in and flattened the main battery. My sub tank light came on and the full gauge went haywire. Fixed the alternator and charged the battery and all back to normal.
