I've always heard it explained as being from reanalysis of constructions like "parle-t-il" (/paRlti/, I think that's the right spelling) as being "parle" (/paRl/) plus a suffix /ti/ -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'. Everyone's just a big dork or nerd, you just have to find people who are dorky the same way you are." - overheard ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
