I'd be mortified if it were to be obsoleted. -joe (factitiously) friday Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Pet Peeves about Words hev 02/06/02 03:17 AM pleonastic terms of troy 02/06/02 01:47 PM Re: Y.A.R.T. hev 02/06/02 11:27 PM Re:pet peeves and pleonasms Keiva 02/07/02 12:18 AM Re: Y.A.R.T. tsuwm 02/07/02 03:22 AM Re: Y.A.R.T.
