Great Find Dave: And thanks so much for sharing. This is the kind of information that is invaluable as it is so rarely picked up by people doing marriage listing from county records. Dan

How do you feel about medical terms? Should the medical field also have to debase it's language to the lowest common denominator for the sake of understanding by the "common folks"? Words have meaning for a very precise reason, especially in the legal field, so stop whining and use the dictionary, just like the one you found and and were kind enough to pass on to the rest of us "common folk". Dan
