Steven, You're right about Mark's email. I didn't get the humor and thought the remark was kinda tough on me. You correctly pointed out his intent. So my apologies to Mark.
As for the underscores, what happened is that *I didn't voluntarily add the underscores to begin with. *If you read the emails again, after Mark's answer about not looping, I asked that the dictionary created as a result of his code wasn't ordered. In reply, he sent me a portion of his previous email containing underscores before Wed (__Wed)! I thought it was the strange but since I'm a beginner, I copied the code and applied it which of course threw up a syntax error. What I wanted to ask Mark was that *why* had *he* added underscores because they were throwing up errors for me. He kept pointing me to his earlier email and asking me compare my line with his line and I'll find out what the problem is. In my mind, I thought I was not entering the underscores correctly or at the right position. As you have explained it turns out it was the email client which was adding stuff on its own. It added the underscores to Mark's first response to my dictionary order question and I took it as *Mark's answer.* Regards, Saad
