spelling question

Mon Apr 21 11:49:48 UTC 2008

Hello Adam,

    Thank you very much for your answer.

    I read a sign "BIKE" in the US signpuddle.  BIKE in the US signpuddle is 
the same as BIKE (A).   I will write a sgin BIKE (B) in the Quebec 
signpuddle.   If I may be wrong, could you explain it to me?

Thumb up!!!

André
