> Reading your original sentence sounds like this: "Can't spell <pause> though <pause> can you <pause> Cliff? Which is exactly what I intended. If I had left out the 'though', which always needs to be separated by commas in the middle of a sentence, it reads as "Can't spell, can you, Cliff?" which is correct in terms of punctuation. I will admit to it being a very awkward sentence <g>. How about this: "Cliff, your spelling needs considerable improvement" BTW, I noticed that you ended a sentence in an earlier post with a preposition ('of'). Next step on the slippery path - split infinitives. Sorry, just having a little fun.
