"Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?  Norwegians 
learn Norwegian; the Greeks are taught their Greek."
- 'Enry 'Iggins, lamenting

Chris's "then" for "than" my eye usually skips over in reading, and if I 
do notice it, I assume it is one of those "muscle memory" typographical 
errors which creep in when one thinks faster than one types.  Spoken 
rapidly and not thought about when spoken, too, there is not a huge vowel 
difference between the "e" and the "a" in standard American English.  
Spell checkers do nothing for a correctly spelled incorrect word,  so one 
has carefully to proof read, which one typically doesn't do to emails!

Speaking of FTP sites, however, Panic Software has released its 
outstanding, formerly commercial programs as freeware: Transmit 1.7 for 
FTP and Audion for sound, MP3, recording, etc.  If anyone is interested, 
one should check out their website:  www.panic.com.
