But, look at the following sentence "There may be arguments as to what it's becoming". That interpretation makes perfect sense to me. I might not use it, but it makes sense. I suppose it could be a pun of some sort, but that would be the only way that that interpretation would make sense to me. -- Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon A nation without a language is a nation without a heart - Welsh proverb ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
