"OUTWAY"????    "OUTWHEIGH"?????   Dammit, this kind of bad English
makes net.abortion look like a refuge for third-graders trying to
guess how to write according to the "look-say" system!  I know that
we all can't be Harvard folk like Marie desJardins Park, but we CAN
run our articles through the UNIX (TM) utility "spell" to avoid the
absurdity of a misspelling answering another misspelling.  Or we 
can use a dictionary.  Come on, guys!!
