Would you care to back that one up? What do you consider to be a "lot" or reading? If something short of 24 hours per day qualifies, then I do a lot of reading, and I feel sorry for anyone who thinks that I am a good speller. I finally got so fed up with the 'spelltell' program that I brought in a _W_e_b_s_t_e_r_'_s, which sits next to my keyboard. I just looked up the word "idiot". It says nothing about spelling. Yes, a person should proofread articles, but a misspelled word is no reason to call someone an "idiot". English is a total disaster for spelling. "I before E" indeed. -- _____ /_____\ Have you hugged your beagle today? /_______\ Snoopy |___| ____|___|_____ ihnp4!ihuxl!seifert
