Then again, I think I've heard mientres as well - or read it! It's been many years since I needed to use Spanish, now that I'm in Asia, but I think mientras is now the correct Spanish whereas mientres is either antiquated or slang Spanish (don't recall which). Anyone out there know? Matt33 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo! Personals. http://personals.yahoo.com
