Upon further examination the letters were right, just in the wrong order. Hence a spelling rant would no doubt be met with an "apt punish mary for being a pedant" :) Thus spake Mary Gardiner (slug@xxxxxxxxxxxx): > On Tue, Sep 11, 2001 at 01:30:02PM +1000, Craige McWhirter wrote: > > Phsycology majors please answer the "Why" on SLUG Chat.
