It is with quite a bit of embarassment that I must confess to murdering the English language once again. In my statement: "How many of you knew that the only elephant ever hung for murder was hung in Tennessee?" It should have been hanged. While both words are acceptable under the Webster Dictionary, obviously hanged would have been a better choice. Three of you have now written to tell me this. <g> It just makes me realize that you read my stuff. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll tell you one I did better though. I use Word to write columns. I'm bad to use slang and especially the word gonna' (I'm gonna' go to the store.). Now, I know gonna' isn't a word, but Microsoft figures I'm an idiot and changes all my gonnas'. I won't tell you what Microsoft Word changes gonna' into (try it yourself), but I will say thankfully I have a lady that proofs my writing. Chip
