BTW, congrats on reading *and* understanding!

Hmm comprehension thats a novel thought. Rumor has it thats not taught in
the grades any more. I think it was replaced with phoenetics.



You're about 180 out of phase with that. Phonics is coming back in after
a
desperate last-ditch effort by the whole-hearted whole-language
whole-learning types, precisely because it did not teach reading.

Of course, as is obvious from the postings here, comprehension is a
personal
thing - like truth. The words are still words, however.


George:
Nice.
