(Was this line really necessary?)

	Let's see, got my lighter fluid, got my matches....and :

<*POOF!*>

	A major weekly news magazine (who shall remain nameless)
insists on using the word "employe"!  Is this spelling legitimate?
It grates on my nerves.  I suspect that they are just trying to 
save on print.  
	What's next?  "Paye", "lesse", or even "Oh say can you se?"
I'm ted off.  Se what I mean?  Let's not let gredy capitalistic 
slicks get away with murder to the English language.  Alex Haig 
has already done enough to it.  
	Thank you for your time an this forum to vent my splen.
