Dick:

Thanks for your thoughtful comments!  Sorry about the
spelling errors.  I tend to make such mistakes because
I approach life from a high level of abstraction - you
know, like Einstein.

Warmest Regards,

Tony Markos

Tony,
 
<disclaimer>This comment is NOT directed at you;
please don't take it personally. I am NOT picking on
your spelling. And I am trying very very hard NOT to
violate any techwr-l rules having to do
with commenting on spelling in general.</disclaimer>

<rant>AM I THE ONLY ONE whose reading is slowed down
every time someone writes "lead" instead of "led" or
"loose" instead of "lose"? I don't know why, but those
two particular errors seem to have become a
mini-epidemic in the last couple of years,everywhere I
look, including in the august New York Times Magazine,
not to mention all sorts of Web sites and technical
documents. WHAT THE HECK ISGOING ON HERE!?!?!? What 
force of nature has suddenly led otherwise competent
writers to repeatedly make those particular errors,
when thereare so many similar errors they might as
easily be making but are not? Is it something in 
the water? In the air? Paranoids everywhere want to
know!</rant>
 
Best regards,
 
Dick
