I can spell..

[John Esak]

Something tells me JP will fill us in.

But MS approved regailing, well actually, I duess that was it... it *didn't
apporve it but my screen reader must have pronounced it... so I thought I
had spelled it incorrectly and press the autocorrect key.... thus changing
it to regaling... which I didn't hear until I was reading the mail from the
list.  So, I thought the MS dictionary corrected it incorrectly.  I would
have bet the spelling was "regailing"... but if you say it isn't in the
dictionary.... then, oh well, what a wasted exercise in cmedy.  :-)
