   Back in 1985-88, I was doing my Associate Diploma for Technical Teaching    
   and had to write a paper. I did mine on Computer vs Human interfaces    
   and, apart from pointing out the confusion with there/their/they're, I    
   gave another, sailing, example, " *Wind* in the sails as the *wind* is    
   getting up" and asked how a computer might distinguish between a written    
   *wind* and *wind* ??
