As a person who struggles with with spelling constantly,
I agree that there is a sad decay of quality of writing these
days. It COULD be that the author was English, though...
Or...it could be that it was a subtle joke on what
woodworking is to the heavily addicted.
Or...it was more likely written with a M$ product
that simply chose the word the SOFTWARE thought the person
wanted, and, since a spell check did not burp it out as
an error...the "proofreader" (and I DO know these tend to
be mythical creatures these days) simply missed it.

"vice vise Americans use vise for the tool and vice for the sin;
Commonwealth usage has vice for both. "
Have it your way, but there's a _world_ out there, mate.

People are better than dogs for only one purpose. And
then it's only half of ofthe people. And _then_ most
of them are only ordinary anyway. And then they have a
headache.........

Well,... Yeah....! Much easier to keep the router going smoothly when you
are also wearing the air cushion shoe inserts.
LOL! How about posting an avi on ABPW? Be sure to post a warning,

Sorry - I've got double vision - can't read this. Damn things slipped, my
legs went a-flyin and I cracked my skull. Talking to a lawyer now; there's
gotta be someone I can sue!
The hell with the truck; what about your back? :)
