The original was, as I recall, or, rather, clip, was: This means, to me, that unintentional spelling errors are fair game. YMMV. I normally don't comment on spelling and grammar, unless I cannot decipher what is intended to be communicated. But, any post in which the author gripes about the spelling of another is fair game. And, the perversity of the universe being what it is, most posts griping about spelling or grammar contain errors of spelling or grammar. Um, I would note that you split a single sentence most brutally, and made two sentence fragments from the corpse. Instead of ending after "Let's not," you should have placed a comma, and continued. (No, don't thank me... precision is its own reward.) I further note that my comment was "Let's talk about 'depricate'," which is a parody of a pedantic metaphor. I can see where that might have gotten by you. Perhaps an additional clue was necessary. I apologize for not making it clear enough. Please allow me to re-state my comment to remove the ambiguity: Let's talk about "depricate." </wry mode> Peace, Warren E. Wolfe wizard at voyager.net
