> Thanks to Webster's (do you have them in Oz too) I can spell when I take the time to look it up.

Thanks to NetscapeŽ, I can spell every time I write a reply (because I can't type straight for nuts! At work, MDW2 is programmed to auto-correct my common blunders as I go). And it takes only seconds to do the whole lot - perhaps longer for a long piece.

Here in the land of Oz, we actually refer to Collins - which is of course, the original British reference, but Webster's is used also - I gather. Perhaps that's why the illiterati in the media keep talking about "an historic moment" and such.

> You know Paul, anyone who can't spell something at least two or three different ways doesn't have much imagination!

Well of course, you know I was only "yanking your chain" (Why does that remind me of a Rottweiler?), but I hope I am both imaginative, and dependable.

Hang on - I found one!
