Thank you,

Believe it or not, I am the world's worst speller and actually appreciate being corrected.

>>Exercised - exorcised.<<

Dale -

That's a tricky one. I would venture to say that most people are not aware of the following alternate meaning for the word "exercised":

to worry; make uneasy; annoy: (ex. to be much exercised about one's health.)

One can be exercised over being called a dipstick, for example.

"Exorcised" ought to be easier for us all, what with The Exorcist being one of the bigger hit movies of all time.

And I forget who it was in the 150 posts I just skimmed but sight, site and cite are different words.

It would be helpful if you could site some examples of how to use them correctly <g>.
