Thanks. That was the answer I hoped for (or, to use King's English, "for which I had hoped").

One last question before you retire for the night, if I may. Would I or anyone else be remiss in not pointing out a spelling error on a spelling thread whether we knew the person wished us to or not? (gg)

Why do you like [a]? Euphonically, don't you think [an] works better? [s]is made with a vowel initiate-"ES", so the sound will flow much more smoothly with [an]preceding it. Otherwise, you get a glottal stop before the [s]. I think that sounds ugly.
