well, ww and helen, I had thought of that, but my understanding of intonation in speech is that it is actual pitch, not just inflection. ww, it sounds like you are much more familiar with this than I, but I have always wondered whether the pitches used by different people saying the same word matched? and how far, word to word, frequency-wise, do those pitches differ? (those have to be two of the most(worst) poorly worded sentences ever...)

anyway, let me finish this second cup of coffee...(hi Fald!)
