Actually that helps a lot of native speakers too. :) Bob Heller 3M EMC Laboratory, 76-1-01 St. Paul, MN 55107-1208 Tel: 651-778-6336 Fax: 651-778-6252 =================================

Please do not use "Exercision / Exercition" at all in your writing for English. It won't be understood. The words "Exercise / Exercising / Exercised" should be used based on the tense in which the sentence is written. Examples include the below: We used a PC running DataDriver software (Revision 4.0) to exercise the EUT. We exercised the EUT using a PC running DataDriver software (Revision 4.0). DataDriver software (Revision 4.0) running on a support PC exercised all modes of the EUT throughout the testing. Alternate forms using synonyms would be: The support PC running DataDriver software (Revision 4.0) ran the EUT through continuous write/read/compare routines throughout testing. Please note that I give a lot of leeway for English grammar and spelling errors when reviewing reports. Some mistakes are made by native English speakers. We know what you are trying to express in your reports, so a grammar mistake is ignored as long as you do provide the critical information (margin from the emissions limits, how was the product setup and run during testing, date of test, etc.). Hope this helps.
