I       normally don't run a spell checker, but do access an online dictionary       when I'm in doubt. Sometimes my version of spelling a word can't be found       because it isn't there. But it will suggest words spelled similarly that       one can look up and perhaps use to find the word you were looking for. Or       it will make a suggestion that offers a different spelling.                      R\%/itt - K5RXT              "It is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all, and        if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain."        Bram Stoker (1847-1912)               Thus, we have "Climate Change Science" - which isn't capable of        explaining anything.                     --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.98        * Origin: South-Texas Area Hub - Gulf Coast Backbone (1:387/22)    |
