Wally, you can tell someone off, or hear someone out, but you can't "hear someone off". It's "off to..." It's an idiomatic expression, as in "off to the left" or "over on my right." "Off to starboard, he heard her" - does that make more sense? (You know what starboard is, I think?) ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
