Firstly, I think that James adds a lot to this list, and if you guys 
that are hacking on his occasional mis-spelled word offend him to the 
point that he leaves (with trained marmot in tow), then I'm going to 
start spelling everything incorrectly, and in ALL CAPS which is very 
annoying. 

I just thought he was from Wales, (I lived near Hereford for a while) 
and they all spell things in a unique manner.

Taught by a Marmot to spell, but still can't get a windshield to fit in 
his 79 spitfire....
