It was obvious that whoever composed that hilarious post had some intimiate knowledge of the legal system!
OTOH, a good lawyer (or a bad one, for that matter), must take responsibility for their secretary's faux pas.
And, the "two R" version of Theriault is actually quite common in those parts of the world where Theriault's are common (meaning Acadia: basically Maritime Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia). In fact, there are probably close to a dozen variations of the name: Terriou, Theriault, Therriault, Therioux Theriot, Terrio, etc. Apparently they all come from a single ancestor, Jehanne Teriou, who came to what is now Nova Scotia in about 1630. And, for any newbies on the list, who weren't around for my last pronounciation guide, it's Anglicized pronounciation (which I use, being an anglophone and all) is "Terry-o". In French (since it's a French name) it would be more like "Tay-ree-o", with the "r" rolled a bit.
Enough family history...
cheers, frank

Sorry about the typo. My wife is a paralegal. I come by it naturally, so to speak.
