Those of you who have not, at some point, (especially over the P/A) been called "Pirate, Peet, Pu-yat, Pit, Patti, Pie-to. Pee-yut, Pyie-yet, Put", etc., have not lived yet, and should be grateful for your good fortune. In TX, we prefer Pight or Pah-ut, honest. Really, somewhere in between the two. . . Yours, for the greater good, Ed Pyeatt

Sorry to send the message to the list that I intended to send to Nancy privately. The old eyeballs must have been pretty well crossed. Thanks goodness I didn't make one of my smart aleck comments in the message. One advantage of having a difficult to pronounce name is that I don't talk to any telemarketers who can't get it right. If they can't pronounce my name correctly, they must not know me, so it's "Sorry, wrong number." -- Laverne Ingram Piatt Ontario, OH
