"--an easy mistake only an asshole would harp on." He claimed he has never heard anyone in the South use 'prostrate' instead of 'prostate'. He is either lying or he doesn't talk to many people. It is one of the more common mistakes, about on the level of using 'jive' instead of 'jibe'.

which you spelled correctly. But, not the word you wanted: en.wikipedia.org --an easy mistake only an asshole would harp on. That was the point. It wasn't a typo. It was an idiot at the controls.

Yes, I knew that. Even though its a word, I misspelled the right word for the context. That's why I think inode should be the thread's spell checker. He is such a pain in the butt nitpicker.......I mean, such a conscientious speller that I think he would do the job justice. Don't forget it was dave who once pointed out to me when I used the word 'their' incorrectly for 'they're' and roundly, chastised me for the mistake. I believe he thinks he's doing God's work. ;-)
