I care how its pronounced because I talk to people as much as I type to the computer, and the computer just warns me if I type something wrong, while saying something wrong to someone will have at least two consequences: 1) The person will not understand you (and you'll look like an idiot) 2) The person will infer what you mean even you saying it wrong (and you'll look even more like an idiot) I personally will avoid these situations. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
