    I am famous for doe snot (does not) all the time. Bad that the spell checker will not catch it. By the way :) 'Repetetive' is spelled as 'Repetitive'

        Meh, use the C++ preprocessor as pre-build command. *snicker*

              Once in a while instead of typing "this" I type "sh*t", but maybe I have digital tourette's or something like that. :-D

                  Count often goes wrong, losing a vowel. Either way, it's caused some embarrassment on occasion :doh:

                            retrun flase I think the funniest typos I make are when I type out a correctly spelled word, but it was not the word that I was looking for. work instead of word I used to type caren instead of caret, (ex-girlfriend, don't let my wife know)

                                      Nice one. Not trying to beat you each time but.... one contract I took, the company created user IDs based on the first three letters of the surname, the first letter of the first name and a dept number. Contractors were 99. So my login was smam99. Gods truth, a week after a Ijoined, a new starter with the name Terry Cunningham joined. Needless to say, they changed their logon creation method!:-D Your Wakeman story reminded me of the story in the paper tonight - Sean Bean having a go at Neil Warnock (Sheff Weds (or united?) manager). He said the fans refer to him by his anagram - Colin W*****r. That brought a smile to my face at the end of what has been a really bad day.

                                          Nice one. Not trying to beat you each time but.... one contract I took, the company created user IDs based on the first three letters of the surname, the first letter of the first name and a dept number. Contractors were 99. So my login was smam99. Gods truth, a week after a Ijoined, a new starter with the name Terry Cunningham joined. Needless to say, they changed their logon creation method!:-D Your Wakeman story reminded me of the story in the paper tonight - Sean Bean having a go at Neil Warnock (Sheff Weds (or united?) manager). He said the fans refer to him by his anagram - Colin W*****r. That brought a smile to my face at the end of what has been a really bad day.

                                          Class :laugh: It could've been worse though, they could've used the whole of the first name! The best I can retaliate with is Webberk, which is tame in comparison. Your Colin story reminds me of the piece in The Register about the Thailand Open Source Software Festival[^]
