          I resent that suggestion! I am one of those weird people who just happen to be able to spell. Sometimes (increasingly, nowadays) it's a burden. I glance at a piece of text and all I can see is the spelling mistakes. For those who may feel inclined to criticise my grammar I will point out that the verb 'is' in the last sentence above agrees with its subject 'all', which is singular.

            You are the second person to guess that, and it is still not right.
