Rick, "nuk'yular" testing Me too. Fingernail on the blackboard effect on me. President Carter was always talking about nuk'yular things, and I was told he had a degree in nuk'yular physics. While I'm complaining or whining, here are two recent examples which also unnerved me: 1. From SI: "For all intensive purposes, the marked was closed." 2. From my newspaper: "Despite the blow to to the head, the victim remained conscience for two hours." 3. From almost everybody under 45: "If I would have known you were coming, I would have made some plans." I won't get into the complex grammar of this particular horror just now. Maybe later. Best, Jack
