==Flame On==

Christ, you would think that in this age of computer literacy, people
would be literate, too.  Not only do we get the same old bad jokes
repeated repetitively (over and over again), but people show that they
can't spell worth a tinkers dam. (Yes, that is "dam" not "damn".  Look
it up!)

To wit:

	leper	*not* lepper

	fell	*not* failed (is that the past pluperfect of fall?)

	threw	*not* through (the ancient leper in a card game joke).

Please, you are supposed to be intelligent.  Write that way!
