"Uncouth" was in the specific context of Tony's implying that I would object to a phrase like "sweating like a pig." He has from time to time carried on about my sensibilities ever since I asked him to please not write a couple of words which are considered swear words here in the Deep South of the U.S., at least among people of my generation. So, there was a little bit of back-story to that piece of "rambling on," too. > ... I mean, let's face it - even Shakespeare used stronger language > ... Well, we're talking about polite discourse on TB! mailing lists, here. And Tony was indeed trying to maintain the forms of polite discourse. As we all should; and, it being an international list, with people from all walks of life on it, circumspect is always the more prudent course. Maybe we had better stop talking about this on-list, now. It really is OT, or at least very, very close to it. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5.30 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.30 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
