Dear Judith,
Marshalee is correct. I used to be a 'Planned Preventative Maintenance' person
before she mended my ways. :)
See Fowler's Modern English Usage prevent(at)ive. The short form is better;
see LONG VARIANTS where he says 'The better the writer the shorter the words'...
broadly true

Well Marsha, you made me look it up.
According to Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary, unabridged 2nd
edition, 1974, you are nice. [Synonym for exact, correct, right,
normal,precise and some others I can't remember]. It says for
preventative...same as 'preventive'.

Quite excellent, Holmes!

Tisk Marshalee, Tisk Tisk!
(By the way, for the Newbies out there, who missed my rant of several

ie.what CS is so good at doing!)
OK, I`ll shut up for now!!! :o)
Love,

Hi all,
In school they say to read the whole question before answering.
Be sure you know what it is that you are answering. :-)
Another cognitive comprehension problem. Like "preventatative" isn't
in the book.
Yep, preventative comes before preventive, obviously ta comes
before ti. :-)
Bless
