I've seen too many people who aren't even aware of the difference between slang and standard english. So (without looking back at who committed it) I'm tempted to correct that kind of thing, just because it annoys me, and annoyance was my guide for what's worth fixing... - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv
