There's no such thing as "legal" in English (except for schoolroom exams). But, at present, _pun_ny is not a word that is in current everyday usage. But rest assured that if you used the word everyone would understand just what you meant. There are traps, of course. "Bun" is a word, and so is "bunny". But it doesn't actually mean what you might logically expect. But who ever said English was logical? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
