Susan, in fact everyone does not know the rules. I just discovered the rules a few years ago and I am darned old. Of course I didn't much care back then and don't particularly care now. I have more important things to worry about. We have been working with my six year old son Robbie to "get no marks" at school. He's a hyper little guy and drives his teachers crazy. So we started doing a "no marks for a week and you will get a prize". The teacher was out for a couple of days and the substitute teacher gave him no marks. When the teacher came back, home comes a mark. We are talking to him about the mark and he says "I just can't do it with my teacher. I gotta get her out of there.". Now THAT worries me!!! ;-) John W.

Arthur, I think everyone knows the rules. However, sometimes our fingers and brains aren't in synch. It happens to me all the time. I suppose it's up to you whether something like this bothers you, but seems like a waste of good energy to me. ;) Susan H. > Speaking of rants, it irritates the hail out of me when people > incorrectly use "it's" when they intended "its".
