The depth and breadth of your result is most impressive. However, your definition of "grown up", which I quoted above, is one I've never heard before, nor has my wife, and we're both literate, middle-aged, native English speakers. To both of us, "grown up" is a colloquial synonym of "adult" with no implication of being ethical or wise. stevo [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
