    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.

          :-D Its OK, it's these damn CCC's - they drive me mad! I thought there can not be a spelling error it must mean something, so I Googled (I like so solve them on my own but ...) I found some MP3 download thing called Eminant and I thought DD is being really obscure today! :rolleyes: :laugh:

                      Note to self ... When brain can't work it out and cheating is required - get a dictionary with more than the current 236,000 English words if you want to solve one of Dave's clues! Where the hell do you get them from?????? :confused: Rich

                          I didn't know the word myself. I worked out parts of it from the clue, then cheated using wiktionary index. :-O

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

                                      There are now more than 1,000,000 words in English, so there a few to choose from. I first heard the word when I was about 11 years old, it was the religious overseer at a wedding between Count Grendell and Princess Strella in 'The Androids of Tara' (Which was based on Anthony Hope's The Prisoner of Zenda)
