My Lord Baltimore - - No quibble intended, (Let him who has not typo-ed cast the first aspersion) but, to my proof-reading eye, "parimutuAl" looked funny. ILIU and, sure enough, it's spelled "parimutuEl" but, curiously, the entry states "mutuEl = mutual" Yet one more instance of the inconsistences of English orthography or is there another explanation?
