Ha ha! I can never spell that guy's name right, so I just copied and pasted from Daryl's message. And yet you did not correct his original error. I await a lengthy treatise from Transfer Principle on the significance thereof, which I will just skim over looking for things that make me laugh. Marshall PS. The urge to intentionally misspell "Koskensilta" in this post was just barely suppressed.

My excuse is that I've never actually seen a copy, I've only heard people talk about it, and I've never asked to see it spelled out. It's like the Necronomicon to me, a legendary tome that may or may not actually exist. -- Daryl McCullough Ithaca, NY

In the context of a different misspelling, perhaps differently. As Nam oft reminds us, it's all about context. Marshall |
