Dear Tony, Thanks for the good wishes! Equally good ones be upon your head! And sorry about the deadly blow; use CS so it won`t be! :o) I always hated the double in "preventative" because we prevent, we don`t preventate, which is what the double implies! You have to go to the root word. Then I hate the way some folks say avery for aviary, and those Aussies, God love `em, they can`t say a proper vowel sound to save `em! Dynt for don`t, for example. Hmmm, perhaps it is because many of the orginal settlers were prisoners, who generally weren`t of the Upper Crust? Then there are the folks in Massachusetts! They say pak the cah in Havad yad, as it is totally against their religion to pronounce the letter R! And one more, I don`t like no double negatives!!! NO ONE can speak as well or as correctly as we Idaho Spuds! Nuff said... Ouch, hey, this is all in fun, folks!! You-all don`t gotta mash me! Love, Marsha Oooh, almost forgot, the worst one of all is "I axed him" for I asked him", boy that one makes me wanna cry... -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
