Nope, spelling is right. What's odd about this phrase is that it's part of "quamdiu bene gesserit" which is the law Latin version of what in Anglo-American law is called "during good behavior", i.e. the tenure of judges, who although appointed by the executive, cannot be removed by the executive. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org Please leave your values | Check your assumptions.
