From: Gail Zacharias <GZ@mit-mc> Bravo! While we're at it, I wish people would stop using "buss" instead of "bus". A bus carries signals (or people) from one place to another. A buss is something you wouldn't mind getting from Raquel Welch.

From: Ron Natalie <ron@brl-bmd> Now you can educate everyone on the number of R's in interrupt.

Most of us will accept silicon, but Gail Zacharias's request to switch from buss to bus is a request of a different magnitude. As we sit at our terminals grinding out documentation, it is very theraputic to slip in a buss in place of a bus. Actually, I find that being consistent in always spelling something wrong will inhibit most potential criticism. Now that Gail has blown the bus-buss outlet for supressed urges another will have to be found. Perhaps osculation in place of oscillation? GLH

And while we're at it, maybe we could spread the word on "kernel",
which does NOT have an "a" in it, though that spelling seems to be
gaining in popularity for some reason.

Isn't there the potential that if you use osculate instead of oscllate, that some one may tell you to "kiss-off"? FEB
