I'm so heartily sick of seeing that "common as muck" "Their - There"
spelling error[1] that catching sight of this one made such a nice
refreshing change that I thought it more than worthy of a
congratulatory note. :-)


Itss a bit of a shok for sumone to priase mu spellung! Particularly as
I managed to get a typo into the Subject line. 8-]

However compliments are always welcome, even when a result of luck!


"complements", Shirley ? ;-)


Just as well that you included a complementary 'smilie'. :-)

However, you did make me give pause for thought in regard of which
spelling I'd have used in the above sentence. I swiftly concluded that
Jim's choice was the correct one. However, in view of my advanced years,
I thought it wouldn't hurt to check...

As for the typo in the subject line, that's so common an occurrence that
it rarely bears comment, especially when any possible confusion is
immediately cleared up in the first line of the post.

Sometimes, a typo in the subject line can be unusual enough to warrant
comment, especially when it introduces an element of comedy. The only
slightly interesting aspect of this accidental double strike of the "S"
key is the wonder of how only the first "S" was capitalised. :-)
