What is this supposed to mean?! <gg> But he would certainly be challenged by Joan's passion for grammar.. I assume you are joking, Christopher. If you are not, let me make a few observations: 1) I have no passion for grammar. (What a notion!!!) 2) Even if I DID, a passion for something is by no means the same thing as a passion about something, or a passionate conviction of the truth of something. For example, if I say "I feel passion for Joe Blow," I am not implying that everyone ought to share that passion, or that there is something inherently passion-inspiring about Joe Blow, etc. Just trying to display my command of "critical and logical thinking." <g> Joan
