>defintion [sorry Faldo] I've noted before that this is prolly my most (inadvertently) misspelled word. I've just googled it, and found that this is a very common error: 1,330,000 gh. and there are 711 gh for "defintion +misspell". - joe (it must be the finger mechanics) friday

I wonder if it would be correct to say that an usher ushed or that a tutor tuted? ...which bring to mind, from the depths of memory (about age five) this bit of doggerel: A tutor who tutored the flute Tried to tutor two Tudors to toot. Said the two to the tutor, "Is it harder to toot Or to tutor two Tudors to toot?

I can accept the regulation of organic in food, cosmetic, and other consumer industries, but banning it from “formal use” gets my carbon up.
Should LSSU take up the ban, their librarians could be empowered to severely thin the chemistry stacks—if they have any.
