Hi Leland! The lady next door to me is a PhD English professor, you'd like her. You garnered your regal crown mostly by the wrong spelling of homonyms, the misspelling of which which changes the meaning of what you are trying to say. Proper spelling of homonyms isn't optional. If you do it wrong you communicate the wrong meaning. Homonyms you just have to know, like software syntax. Unless - you were to write a cross-platform homonym checker for your first Dabo project. Might be bigger than IntelliSense. At $8 a pop you'd be rich, although at $7.95 you would sell even more of them - looks cheaper than it is. This is not to say you are not the king of garden variety spelling errors as well, particularly when selecting the proper tense of verbs, or so someone "tell" me. If you are not king, you are close. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
