>Talk about fingers life of their own! I'm going more dyslexic as time goes on. There's hardly a sentence where I don't have to go back and fix "teh" with "the" for instance. "scholl" is another one (and generally "ool" words).

Same here. In fact I think it might be time to start petitioning the Oxford and Webster people to make 'teh' just an alternate spelling of 'the', or better still, replacing it altogether. I do some insurance work and I feel the same about the word 'claim' being changed to 'calim' But no matter how many people do it, I refuse to accept changing the word 'loose' to mean 'lose'.

>>I only listen to 91.1 - Jazz FM. It's a public station and as such, is only allowed 4 minutes of advertising per hour. As well, the advertisers, rightly or wrongly, seem to feel they are aiming at a better heeled, more intelligent community of listeners. Except for now, of course because there is a provincial election coming in October, so there are more political ads which are (like most political ads) generally aimed at the more brain dead in our society.

>Now I know you like jazz, and my music taste is so eclectic that I like some. But listening to it all day would give me the screaming ab-nabs.

Maybe it does me too, and maybe I like ab-nabs whatever they are. In fact, maybe mine don't scream.
