Ben: Is it not odd that we do not make a "mental double take" when we
make these utterances daily? Language is not logical, but it works. Sam

Sam,
Although I don't as a rule endorse mass mailings, I have to differ with what
you say above. Language itself is pretty darn logical and regular. It tend
to be our (usually set-in-the-way) methods of rendering language graphically
that leave much to be desired in the logics and regularity departments.
Kumpelmenten,
Reinhard/Ron
