*TsK-TsK* Lazy boy! You don't even _try_ to make a respectable effort at making yourself understandable 1/2 the time!!! And do you have a problem with using dictionaries and your spellchecker? No more excuses and/or whining, please, Mike! You are just embarassing yourself [and beginning to really irk me in off-list email "tonnage"] It is rather damning that you do not check your facts and that you do not ask if something is true or not ... At least, preface a statement with _something_ along the lines of "AFAIK" or "it seems...", etc. ad nauseum... Quite amusingly, it seems that even a sizable number of the ESL [English-as-Second-Language] -speakers/users have a better grasp of basic written English than you, a "L1" American who lives in Alaska, USA. And do not _even_ try repeating your blaming of the American education system or the schools you went to for your own (s)lack ;) };P~~~ "enuff said, never enuff done..."
