Christopher, I maintained from the outset that we were not the Grammar Police. I truly DO think it generally rude to correct people's grammar and spelling publicly -- unless they are posting specifically to this thread. (If someone habitually makes the same irritating error over and over, a gentle nudge may occasionally be appropriate.) Even "friends" often do not take kindly to being "exposed," even if it's "only a game." If YOU want to give somebody a lesson, by all means do so. But do so on your own hook, not with Lab sanction. Our reputation is bad enough already. That is, if you were serious about your suggestion, which I rather doubt. :^) Joan
