I was trying to figure out whether it was politically correct to correct
someone else's spelling in this forum. I had the impression that there was
no orthographic police here. There certainly is a lot of error in that
department. Even my rented fingers don't spell any worse than the average
here.

Now . . .

What do you mean your money's on TONY? Which Tony?
