The term clew "c l e w" refers to the securing of a rope or line used in
the trimming of sails. "Before we lose that mast, we'd better clew up
those
lines."
The term clue "c l u e" refers to a hint, suggestion, part of a missing
puzzle or problem.
That, I'm sure you are aware of. Some word processors will use context to
suggest a correction while others don't.
That is one of the unfortunate drawbacks of a simple spell checking
device.

When they turn the pages of history, when these days have past long ago,
will they read of us with sadness or the seeds that we let grow?

Speaking of spell-checker,
I think it failed you,
Example;
Clew;C L E W
The correct should be,
Clue; C L U E.

First off subject lines need to be more carefully monitored and changed
when
appropriate. Second I wish to draw your attention to the fact that there
are
at least 2 free spell checking programs for Outlook Express on the
programs
page and I encourage those of you who haven't availed yourselves of such
an
animal to obtain and use one.
I know that English is not the primary language for many of you on here
but
the fact is for most it is and sad to say reading some messages I can't
tell
if some of you have even heard of the English language or not, no matter
if
it is supposed to be your main method for communication.
Please take more care in composing your messages to the list, there have
been some recently that I didn't even gather a clew what the purpose for
sending it was I am sorry to say.
I'm not trying to be critical, think of this as friendly advice from the
guy
who has to read everything that comes across these lists, have mercy in
other words. Also before I forget to mention I learned Italian at the same
time I learned English as a little boy, so if I can do it the rest of you
sure can match my minor skill level in grasping sentence structure and
trust
me I never go without a spell checking program on any system I own.

Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones
that mind don't matter.
