While we are at it, and you seem very adept, tsuwm, how do you get things into that box, like the quote of my question in your reply above. (I am really new to computer use and need all the help I can get.)

I clicked it as you said, and now am clicking the quote button at the top of this page thank you very much: I presume it is the quote box at the top of the page on this 'posting form' that I am to use, yes?

OK
I'll bite: how do you get it to
l) say the part where you have "originally posted by.....)?
2) get that box within a box.

Speaking of useless letters in 'taught'
I am told there are 9 pronunciations of the letters 'ough' in English, e.g., cough, though, doughty. Anyone know all nine? off, as in cough oh, as in though ow, as in slough or plough uff, as in enough or tough or slough (2) oo, as in through aw, as in nought or bought or brought uh, as in borough the schwa sound (phonetic upside down e) as in thoroughly That's only eight I can think of without looking it up.
