Lines: 15 Hoo boy, are you ever right! When I reviewed my message (after it had been sent out) I noticed the misspelling. Just desserts, I guess. On the other hand, I propose that there's a difference between a quick slip of the finger in a netnews article due to haste and a LONG, thoughtful review just rife with misspellings. Remember, his letter was going to muckymucks at GM who, we should assume, can spell. Even as I admit my own slip, I really feel that there's little excuse to subject the public to misspelled words. It's the lexicographic equivalent of having your fly open in public. Hell, since we all have "spell" on-line, there's even less excuse. Steve Dyer decvax!wivax!dyer
