Thanks Dominique!
Actually it was a "typo" rather than a mis-spelling; in common with
most people, my most frequent typo is to transpose two letters. In
fact, in general, about 80% of spelling/typographic mistakes are two
letter transpositions such as "teh" for "the". The worst kind, such
as "form" instead of "from", isn't highlighted by spell checkers as
the transposed word is spelt correctly, but is the wrong word!
However, I didn't know the meaning of "viola", so I'm glad to know
this is one case where I have to be VERY careful about letter
transposition!
Cheers
Peter
