That's certainly interesting how us Brits are taught that using But, Because & And at the beginning of sentences is considered bad, but that International English promotes it. Must be one of those quirks. Mind you at least it only applies to 60 million or so of us in the world! lol I can honestly say it will be hard for me to pass up changing them but I'll try my best to keep in mind your comments.
We're taught the same in Canada (or at least were back in the Stone-Age when I was in school)... "Because", "But", and "And" are not to be used to start a sentence.
We're also taught in Canada that it's "behaviour", "neighbour", "colour", "litre" etc etc., :-)
So, there's another 35 million or so to add to your 60 million :-) C. -- Clayton Cornell [email protected] OpenOffice.org Documentation Project co-lead --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
