Article-I.D.: fortune.190 Posted: Thu Jul 22 18:17:46 1982 Received: Thu Jul 29 01:09:53 1982 Remember that the entire concept of correct and incorrect ways of spelling a word is only about 150 years old, and not very harshly implemented anyway (e.g. tyre, centre, gaol). So I see no problem with "ov" as an alternate spelling of "of". Glenn
