Loved Max's reply!!

As far as 'eply' goes, if it were to work its way into the language, I wouldn't mind at all. In fact, since I'm rarely on the cutting edge of those in the know about current terms, knowing about the existence of 'eply' in its inchoate stage would be great fun if this were a word that came to be generally accepted, although I have my doubts. An eply seems to be a logical consequence of email, and, Nancy, I'm with Faldage in believing that hyphen is a waste of time . You send out email? You receive eplies. No problem once your eye gets used to seeing the word.

I love watching changes in language develop, although I'm usually several years behind the erd [erd = the technological savvy group at large].
