---------- From: owner-quattro@coimbra.ans.net on behalf of Alex Kowalski >we're a bunch of language-bastardizing philistine ninnies This is self-evident, but it would have been impolite of us to be first to mention it. :-) Being a southerner living and working in Yorkshire I suffer a plethora of misinterpretations in both vocabulary and phonetic pronunciation every day. e.g.. the word 'bastard' - In Yorkshire 'bastad', southern 'barstard'. 'glass', Yorkshire 'glass', southern 'glarse' even worse is the use of 'while' to mean 'until'. And to cap it all, my email spell-checks in American and resists all attempts to educate it. :-) Jim Haseltine 88 Ur quattro
