Nice way of putting me in my place Synthia , thanks , not being into IT it just seemed like the old way of abbreviating to save space and time , so many short cuts because of poor spelling etc , it is hard to tell the difference . Cuz , taint , twernt , more like a foriegn lingo , i read that as long as the first and last letters were correct with the correct ones in any order in the middle , we tend to read them as correct any way without even realizing we have done so , but i learned something new today , IT , mmmmm .Colin
