Hi David, re: Z before S except after C Growing up in Texas certainly did not inhibit your English skills.<g> Speaking of geography and environment, a previous employer of mine was a stuffy Brit, and working for him had a curious effect on my writing. I often find myself sprinkling posts with &#145Ss&#146 in place of &#145Zs&#146 as in specialise and realise. How did the original transition take place? We really didn&#146t just jump off the Mayflower and proceed to re-write all the English books, did we? Who was the first writer to say, &#147Eureka, I'll use a Z, instead!&#148? &#133damn subversive colonists! -MrB
