How do you feel about this? |> i once hat a boy in a youth group who had a down-syndrom (you know, what that means?) he always refered to writing as "drawing letters". he knew the word "letter" but combined it with the verb "to draw" we tried hard to teach him that there is a difference between writing and drawing but we failed. at the end we got used to it and it stayed as a "running gag" in this group. long after this boy had left we still sayed we were "drawing letters" when we ment writing (german in our case). greez -- Martin "Lolly" Lorenz Microsoft, I think, is fundamentally an evil company. - JAMES H.
