<HTML>From: "Robert A. Anderson" <fandango@dakotacom.net> Subject: Weird spelling The Spelling Police have once again asked me to intervene, so I'll see your "creek" and raise you a "wierd", make that "weird", I say "weird," son. I must admit that "weird" is a pretty weird looking word, even when it's spelled correctly. Kevin Ramsey almost won the speller appreciation of the month award when he correctly spelled it in his first post today. But, alas, the award was snatched from him after his second post. Ain't life weird? Glad to be of assistance, Bob Anderson Tucson, Az </BLOCKQUOTE> Hi Bob, and List, I just HAD to insert a sentence out of the '50s when I was polishing up my spelling skills.........."Neither the weird financier nor the foreigner seizes leisure at its height."  All exceptions to the i-before-e rule.....though I think there actually are a few more that Susan K. has pointed out. Sorry, couldn't help myself! Stan Ryberg Barrington IL mailto:jstan40@aol.com</HTML>
