God, Paul, sympathy from me! I loathe that one too. Have you noticed that the noun and adjective forms of the word "renown" have recently begun to be considered interchangeable? "A very renown singing group," etc. Illiterate, ugly, and ignorant. Talk about teeth on edge. --Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
