      Hi! Ardith,              On 04 Dec 16 23:36, you wrote to me:               PQ>> \vice-verse.               AH> |vice versa... from Latin. I wasn't a brilliant student        AH> in the subject. I understand what people mean when they        AH> say "it killed the mighty Romans & now it's killing me",        AH> but I also find it helpful now & then.... :-)              Like the other languages I had an opportunity to study in 'junior high', Latin       for me was another failure. OTOH, the short time devoted to its study has       helped immensely throughout the half-century since. Now, when faced with a       spell-checker at my advanced stage of life that lists a number of alternative       variations for what it considered to be an error (in that I wanted to use the       *same* string as you've corrected me with), what am I to do? Oops. ;-)              Cheers,       Paul.              ... Funditus tortus sum! Fucatissimum!       --- Paul's Win98SE VirtualBox        * Origin: Quinn's Post - Maryborough, Queensland, OZ (3:640/384)    |
